Morphology of satellite galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the first results of an ongoing project to study the morphological, kinematical, dynamical, and chemical properties of satellite galaxies of external giant spiral galaxies.

Description

The sample of objects has been selected from the catalog by Zaritsky et al. (1993ApJ...405..464Z). The paper analyzes the morphology and structural parameters of a subsample of 60 such objects.

The satellites span a great variety of morphologies and surface brightness profiles. About two-thirds of the sample are spirals and irregulars, the remaining third being early-types. Some cases showing interaction between pairs of satellites are presented and briefly discussed.
