Bulges on the Fundamental Plane of early-type galaxies
In an ongoing effort to study the formation and evolution of galactic bulges, we have investigated the position of 19 bulges of type S0-Sbc on the Fundamental Plane (FP). We find that bulges, in both B and K band, lie close to but slightly below the FP defined by ellipticals and S0s, i.e. are slightly brighter. There are hints that bulges of later
