Comparison between our H-band single Sérsic index and that obtained by van der Wel et al. (2012). Our sample is color-coded as in Fig. 3. Error bars come from the simulations described in Appendix A. The divergence in the case of ETGs can be related with their concentrated nature. In the case of LTGs, the discrepancy may be due to the fact that the luminosity profiles of these galaxies cannot be properly described with a simple Sérsic function.
