Elliptical and ellicular galaxies occupy different positions in the black hole-spheroid mass diagram, supporting a merger-driven sequence from lenticular to elliptical galaxies and revealing hidden discs that inflate some bulge mass estimates.
This ‘hot’ outer disc model gives a bulge (aka spheroid) magnitude of 10.39 mag and a total galaxy magnitude of 8.74 mag, as mentioned in Section A1.2
