Intrinsic Shape of Elliptical Galaxy NGC 661
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We investigated the intrinsic shape of the luminosity density of the triaxial galaxy NGC 661 by comparing its observed profiles of photometric parameters with the projected surface brightness of model galaxies. We examined NGC 661 which shows a small scale variation in the ellipticity profile at ∼ 0.3 re. We suggest complex form of density distributions which might explain it.
