The Normal Elliptical Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
About 13% of bright galaxies are ellipticals (21% SO, 64% Spiral and Im, 2% IO and peculiar). Their obvious features are the smooth luminosity distribution and the near absence of the bright blue stars, HII regions and dust that appear in spiral systems; there is probably very little star formation going on at present in E galaxies. I plan to discuss some of the dynamical and physical properties of these systems; although many of them are known radio sources, I will not be able to discuss their radio properties.
