Galaxy versus bulge properties. Left panel: correlation between the galaxy stellar mass (M_∗,glxy) and bulge stellar mass (M_∗,bulge) for our sample. Right panel: correlation between absolute V-band galaxy magnitude (M_V, glxy) and absolute V-band bulge magnitude (M_V,bulge, see Table B.5). Bulgeless galaxies have been excluded from our analyses. The OLS bisector fits to the early-type data (solid line), late-type data (dashed line) and full galaxy sample (dotted line).
