Caption: Figure 6.

Central concentration index for the galaxy sample, corresponding to the ratio of the 3/4 light-radius to the 1/4 light-radius. For comparison, also shown is the bulge-to-disk ratio based on the double-Sérsic fit to the azimuthally averaged elliptical–radial profile (see Appendix C). The galaxy name is indicated below the measurement, where single numbers represent the NGC #. The Hubble T-Type is derived from the morphology (Table 1).
