Among early-type galaxies with almost circular isophotes E0 and E1 galaxies are, at 99.3% significance, more luminous than face-on objects classified as S0 (0) and S(0) (1). This result supports the view that rotation and "diskiness" are more important in the outer regions of faint-early type galaxies than they are for more luminous galaxies of very early morphological type.
