| • | So,
are ellipticals simple to understand |
|||||||
| dynamically? Not so clear. We’re seeing a 2D |
||||||||
| picture
of a 3D object. |
||||||||
| • | Elliptical
galaxies rotate too slowly for this to |
|||||||
| account
for the flattening observed. In
other |
||||||||
| words,
their ratios of rotational to random |
||||||||
| kinetic
energy is too low. |
