30 L120 KORMENDY & BENDER Vol. 464 FIG. 1. Proposed morphological classification scheme for elliptical galaxies. Ellipticals are illustrated edge-on and at ellipticity The connection between boxy and disky ellipticals may not be continuous (see 4). This figure is based on the tuning-fork diagram of Hubble (1936). We make three additional modifications: we illustrate the two-component nature of S0 galaxies and label them as barred or unbarred, we call unbarred spirals ordinary Kormendy rather than & Bender normal (1996). (de Vaucouleurs 1959), and we add Magellanic irregulars. 2. CLASSIFICATION SCHEME FOR ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES Figure 1 illustrates the proposed classification. Smoothly connecting onto S0 s are disky ellipticals, i.e., those with isophotes that are more elongated along the major axis than best-fitting ellipses. Next come boxy ellipticals, i.e., those with isophotes that are more rectangular than ellipses. We illustrate the classification with Hubble s (1936) tuning-fork diagram; clearly, it can be incorporated into de Vaucouleurs (1959) more detailed classification. Ellipticals with exactly elliptical isophotes are omitted; we consider them to be intermediate between disky and boxy 3. EVIDENCE THAT ISOPHOTE SHAPES MEASURE ANISOTROPY Our discussion of isophote shapes follows Bender et al. (1989, hereafter B 89) and Kormendy & Djorgovski (1989). Evidence that a 4 /a measures anisotropy is summarized in Figure 2. The upper panel plots (V/ )*, the ratio of the rotation parameter V/ to the value for an isotropic oblate spheroid flattened by rotation (Davies et al. 1983; V is the maximum rotation velocity, and is the mean velocity dispersion inside one-half of the effective radius). The correlation of (V/ )* with a 4 /a shows that rotation is dynamically less important in boxy than in disky ellipticals (Bender 1987, 1988; Nieto, Capaccioli, & Held 1988; Wagner, Bender, & Möllen-
