Dependence of central PS H‐band absolute magnitude ﹩M_{H,\,\mathrm{PS}\,}﹩ on global properties of the parent galaxy: (a) ﹩M_{H,\,\mathrm{PS}\,}﹩ vs. galaxy morphological type index T. (b) ﹩M_{H,\,\mathrm{PS}\,}﹩ vs. Sérsic index n of the bulge. (c) ﹩M_{H,\,\mathrm{PS}\,}﹩ vs. H‐band absolute bulge magnitude. The line is an orthogonal regression to the distribution. (d) ﹩M_{H,\,\mathrm{PS}\,}﹩ vs. absolute B‐band magnitude. Filled circles: Our bulges; the absolute magnitude is that of the bulge. Crosses: S0 galaxies from Ravindranath et al. (2001). Open circles: E galaxies from Ravindranath et al. (2001). Total galaxy absolute magnitudes are used for S0 and E galaxies.
