The Structure of Elliptical Galaxies

Abstract

Recent imaging investigations highlight the structural diversity of elliptical galaxies. The distribution of light within the cores and envelopes shows a wide range in central and average system stellar densities at any galaxy luminosity. These variations appear to offer new information on galaxy formation mechanisms. Understanding the common structural properties of elliptical galaxies leads to interesting applications such as their use as metric distance indicators or as probes of tidal interactions in first-ranked galaxies.
