Negative, inner logarithmic slope of the bulge light profile (γ) against the bulge stellar mass (M∗,bulge) for 211 (66 core-Sérsic and 145 Sérsic) galaxies. These bulges modelled with the Sérsic or core-Sérsic model. Of the 211 galaxies, 173 are from this work, whereas the remaining 38 are non-LeMMINGs core-Sérsic galaxies from Dullo & Graham (2014), Dullo (2019), Dullo et al. (2021). For Sérsic galaxies γ is measured at (see the text for details). The Hubble classes are based on the numerical T-type in HyperLEDA. All core-Sérsic galaxies have M∗,bulge ≥ 8 × 1010 M and low values of γ ≤ 0.35, except for NGC 584 having γ ∼ 0.47. We note that galaxies with low values of γ have shallow inner light profiles, while those with high values of γ have light profiles that are steep all the way into the galaxy centre.
