On the lack of a simple relation between RE and mu-e for early-type galaxies
The direct correlation between effective radius Re and corresponding surface brightness mu-e, found for early-type galaxies by Kormendy (1977) and later confirmed by several studies, is reexamined using a homogeneous photometric data base relative to a luminosity-limited sample of 33 E and SO Virgo cluster galaxies. Contrary to previous belief, but
