 Elliptical galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 (the spherical glow at upper left) lies at the edge of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies.
This traditional portrait of elliptical galaxies paints them as galaxies where the star formation was over after the initial burst, now shining only with their aging stars.
The smallest, the Dwarf elliptical galaxies, may be no larger than a typical globular cluster, but contain a considerable amount of dark matter not present in clusters.

 Elliptical galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larger elliptical galaxies typically have a system of globular clusters, indicating an old population.
The Hubble classification of elliptical galaxies ranges from E0 for those that are most spherical, to E7, which are long and thin.
Elliptical galaxies tend to lie in the cores of galaxy clusters and in compact groups of galaxies.

Elliptical galaxies are characterised by an absence of spiral arms.
Elliptical galaxies are comprised mostly of old stars and contain very little dust and "cool" gas that can form stars.
Observations of the core of the elliptical galaxy M87 showed a source that was blueshifted on one side and redshifted on the other, spinning so fast that the central object had to be compact and enormous.

 Hubble sequence : Elliptical galaxy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Elliptical galaxies are generally fairly low in gas and dust, and are composed mostly of older stars.
Spiral galaxies generally have plentiful supplies of gas and dust, and have a broad mix of older and younger stars.
From this, astronomers have constructed a theory of galaxy evolution which suggests that ellipticals are, in fact, the result of collisions between spiral and/or irregular galaxies, which strip out much of the gas and dust and randomize the orbits of the stars.

Elliptical galaxies constitute approximately 10% of observed galaxies.
Some other examples of elliptical galaxies include M32, which is an E2 dwarf elliptical near the Andromeda Galaxy, and the E6 elliptical galaxy M110, another satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy.
Elliptical galaxies exhibit far less evidence for young stars, gas, or dust than do spiral galaxies, and have larger random motion of stars than in spiral galaxies where the motion is a more ordered rotation.

 Messier Object 110
Independent of Messier's discovery, Caroline Herschel discovered M110 on August 27, 1783, little more than 10 years after Messier, and William Herschel numbered it H V.18 when he cataloged it on October 5, 1784.
The small elliptical galaxy M110 is at about the same distance as the Andromeda galaxy M31, about 2.9 million light years, as confirmed by Walter Baade in 1944, when he resolved it into stars (Baade 1944).
However, as it is much brighter than typical dwarf spheroids, Sidney van dan Bergh has recently introduced the term "Spheroidal Galaxy" for this and similar galaxies, including Local Group members NGC 147 and NGC 185.

Statistical arguments suggest that the distribution of galaxies among the ellipticities is roughly uniform.
For some reason Elliptical galaxies formed all their stars a long time ago, using up all their gas, so that new stars are no longer forming, there is virtually no young stellar population nor gas nor dust.
It seems almost certain, for example, that the giant elliptical galaxies seen at the centers of rich clusters formed as galaxies gradually accumulated at the center of the cluster's strong gravitational field.

 Hubble sequence - Psychology Central
An elliptical galaxy (E0-7) has an ellipsoidal form, with a fairly even distribution of stars throughout.
A lenticular galaxy (S0 and SB0) appears to have a disk-like structure with a central spherical bulge projecting from it, and does not show any spiral structure.
A barred spiral galaxy (SBa-d) has a similar sort of spiral structure to spiral galaxies, but instead of emanating from the bulge, the arms project out from the ends of a "bar" running through the bulge, like ribbons on either end of a baton.

 ELLIPTICAL GALAXY FACTS AND INFORMATION
The single largest known galaxy, M87 (which also goes by the NGC number 4881), is an elliptical.
Current thinking is that an elliptical galaxy is the result of a long process where one or more smaller galaxies, of any type, collide and fuse in a larger one.
This fusion process may at time carry on until recent or contemporary ages, and is not limited to giant elliptical.

lenticulars, can hardly be distinguished from (and thus are sometimes misclassified as) elliptical galaxies; this has happened in the past to all four Messier lenticulars, among many others.

The small elliptical galaxy M110 is at about the same distance as the Andromeda galaxy M31, about 2.9 million light years.
It is of type E5 or E6 and is designated "peculiar" because it shows some unusual dark structure (probably dust clouds); it is now often classified as a dwarf spheroid galaxy, not a generic elliptical one (this would make it the first ever known dwarf spheroid, of course).
Its mass was estimated to be between 3.6 and 15 billion solar masses.

 NOAO Image Gallery: Elliptical Galaxies
Elliptical galaxies are spheroidal distributions of mostly older stars, usually without much of the intersteller material that is prevalent in spirals.
Ellipticals are often classified with a number that describes their appearance; an E0 galaxy is almost perfectly circular while an E7 is quite elongated.
Ellipticals vary greatly in size, from very small companions found near our own galaxy to the giant ellipticals often seen near the center of rich clusters.
