1) Photometry from de Vaucouleurs 1958 shows a bulge obeying the r1/4 law up to less than 5 pc from the center with an effective radius re = 17′5. In the region from 0.01 to 0.2 re, equal luminosity curves are well approximated by similar ellipses of axial ratio 0.68. The reduced spatial density υ* and the reduced gravitationnal potential φ* (i.e. for a mass to luminosity ratio f equal to 1) can then be easily computed (Monnet and Simien 1977).
