Kormendy
(1982) distinguishes these from
|
|
|
being
merely giant ellipticals.
|
|
|
|
– |
Extensive
stellar envelope up to 100 kpc
|
|
|
|
– |
Only
in regions of enhanced galaxy density (a
|
|
|
|
factor
of 100 denser than the average)
|
|
|
|
– |
Mutiple
nuclei in 25-50% of cDs (a very rare
|
|
|
|
thing)
|
|
|
• |
Regular
cD clusters are systems that have
|
|
|
|
relaxed
into dynamical equilibirum.
