Normalized Sersic Profiles. Simple profiles are actually rather rare in E galaxies. Theoretical profiles and mass density distributions for modified isothermal spherers .

Theoretical profiles and mass density distributions for modified isothermal spherers.
A set of King profiles for different concentration parameters (high concentration parameters to the right, low concentrations to the left)
Some examples of Irregular galaxies within the Hubble sequence.
Distributions of axial ratios (q=b/a) for S0 and Disk systems. The drop off at left in both cases gives some sense of how flat these galaxies can appear; it is clear that normal spirals can be quite flat when seen edge-on, while S0’s are puffier.
Star formation rate (the y-axis) on average increases as you move from E/S0 galaxies through the SaSd to Irregular sequence.
