These sample galaxies are included in Data Release 8 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and have central light profiles and kinematic properties available from the literature, which were compiled from observations by the Hubble Space Telescope and the ATLAS3D integral-field spectrograph, respectively. We find that there is only a weak correlation between the isophotal shape （a4/a） and the central light profile （within 1 kpc） of ETGs. About two-fifths of ＂core＂ galaxies have disky isophotes, and one-third of ＂power-law＂ galaxies are boxy. Our statistical results also show that there are weak correlations between galaxy luminosity and dynamical mass with a4/a, but such correlations are tighter with a central light profile. Moreover, no clear link has been found between the isophotal shape and the Sersic index. Comparisons show that there are similar correlations between a4/a and ellipticity, and between a4/a and specific angular momentum ARo/2 for ＂power-law＂ ETGs, but there are no such correlations for ＂core＂ ETGs. Therefore, we speculate that the bimodal classifications of ETGs are not as simple as previously thought, though we also find that the disky ETGs with highest a4/a are more elongated and fast rotators.展开更多
