Creators

Description

Surface photometry of the elliptical companion of NGC 5846 shows that it lacks an extended envelope but instead has a profile resembling that of a low-concentration star cluster. It appears to be tidally limited by its giant neighbor. Subject headings: galaxies, individual - galaxies, photometry of - stellar dynamics
