Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies
Dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs) are elliptical galaxy, elliptical galaxies that are smaller than ordinary elliptical galaxy, galaxies. They are quite common in galaxy groups and galaxy cluster, clusters, and are usually companions to other galaxies. Examples "Dwarf elliptical" galaxies should not be confused with the rare "compact elliptical" galaxy class, of which Messier 32, M32, a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, is the prototype. In 1944 Walter Baade confirmed dwarf ellipticals NGC 147 and NGC 185 as members of the Local Group by resolving them into individual stars, thanks to their relatively little distance. In the 1950s, dEs were also discovered in the nearby Fornax Cluster, Fornax and Virgo Cluster, Virgo clusters. Relation to other elliptical galaxy types Dwarf elliptical galaxies have blue absolute magnitudes within the range fainter than ordinary elliptical galaxies. The surface brightness profiles of ordinary elliptical galaxy, elliptical galaxies was formerly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
