Isophote Shapes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
The shapes of the isophotes of elliptical galaxies are discussed. Ellipticity and position angle variations with distance from the centres of galaxies are described, as well as deviations from perfectly elliptical shape. The factors contributing to these deviations, in particular edge-on disks and boxiness, are described and portrayed.
