X-RAY OBSERVATION OF DISKY GALAXY


ABSTRACT

Elliptical galaxies can be divided into two classes according to its isophote shape. These are disky galaxies and boxy galaxies. The Hubble sequence of Im-spiral-S0 is connected to disky ellipticals. The sequence is continuous from S0's to disky E's. However, it is not clear whether boxy ellipticals is connected to disky ellipticals or not. To clear this problem via X-ray observation, we propose ASCA observations of disky galaxies, NGC6876 and NGC2974.
