Lenticular galaxies are unique in that they have a visible disk component as well as a prominent bulge component.
They have much higher bulge-to-disk ratios than typical spirals and do not have the canonical spiral arm structure of late-type galaxies, yet may exhibit a central bar.
This bulge dominance can be seen in the axis ratio (i.e. the ratio between the observed minor and major axial of a disk galaxy) distribution of a lenticular galaxy sample.
Larger axial ratios can be explained by observing face-on disk galaxies "or" by having a sample of spheroidal(bulge)-dominated galaxies.
Imagine looking at two disk galaxies edge-on, one with a bulge and one without a bulge.
The galaxy with a prominent bulge will have a larger edge-on axial ratio compared to the galaxy without a bulge based on the definition of axial ratio.
The fact that the lenticular galaxy distribution rises with increasing observed axial ratio implies that lenticulars are dominated by a central bulge component.
This results from lenticulars having both prominent disk and bulge components.
As the bulge component is usually spherical, elliptical galaxy classifications are also unsuitable.
However, the bulge component of lenticulars is more closely related to elliptical galaxies in terms of morphological classification.
Since the bulge component tends to dominate the galaxy, lenticular galaxy samples are often indistinguishable from elliptical galaxy populations in terms of their overall surface brightness profiles.
However, galaxies are often assigned the S0 morphological class when they require multiple Sérsic indices to describe their surface brightness profiles, one to describe the bulge and one to describe the disk.
SB01 galaxies have the least defined bar structure and are only classified as having slightly enhanced surface brightness along opposite sides of the central bulge.
The prominence of the bar increases with index number, thus SB03 galaxies have very well defined bars that can extend through the transition region between the bulge and disk.
This is due to the significant bulge and disk nature of lenticulars.
The bulge component is similar to elliptical galaxies in that it is pressure supported by a central velocity dispersion.
This situation is analogous to a balloon, where the motions of the air particles (stars in a bulge's case) are dominated by random motions.
The distinction between spiral galaxies and lenticular galaxies is often simpler to analyze as the dividing line is often set at a particular bulge-to-disk ratio.
The motivation behind this criterion is that lenticular galaxies do have prominent bulge and disk components whereas elliptical galaxies have no disk structure.
Thus, lenticulars have much larger v/σ ratios than ellipticals due to their non-negligible rotational velocities (due to the disk component) in addition to not having as prominent of a bulge component compared to elliptical galaxies.
This is a combined effect from lenticulars having difficult inclination measurements, projection effects in the bulge-disk interface region, and the random motions of stars affecting the true rotational velocities.
It should be mentioned, however, that advanced models of the central bulge which include both a general Sersic profile and bar indicate a smaller bulge, and thus a lessened inconsistency.
