Scientific paper

We have obtained HST_NICMOS images for 72 nearby spiral galaxy bulges in the H-band. These data show that galaxies with regular bulges have steeper nuclear cusps than galaxies with irregular bulges. We also show that galaxies with regular bulges fall on the same part of the (<\gamma>, magnitude)-diagram as elliptical galaxies. This implies that early-type spiral galaxy bulges have a formation process in common with ellipticals.
