galaxy bulges

More work yesterday on central stellar densities (which are effectively measures of bulge masses); I got everything to run on my full sample of 140,000 galaxies. I also got a reminder from Moustakas that I need to review the "secular evolution" literature, which claims that bulges can grow from disks without external drivers such as mergers, tidal impulses, or starbursts. I am skeptical!
