The Population I Content of the Elliptical Companions of M31
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
Twenty years ago Walter Baade pointed out the remarkable fact that two of the four elliptical galaxy companions of M31 (namely NGC 185 and 205) contained apparent Population I in their central areas, evidenced by the presence of dust clouds and a dozen or so OB stars. I wish to report here on some observations of these stars and absorption regions, made in an attempt to understand the origin of this anomalous material and its relevance, if any, to the pattern of galaxy development.
