Description

The results of an investigation by Heidmann, Heidmann and de Vaucouleurs on the effects of inclination on observed magnitudes and diameters of galaxies are questioned. It is concluded that corrections must be made for internal absorption in external galaxies and that diameter corrections do not have to be made.
