Galaxies with a central minimum in stellar luminosity density

Galaxies with a central minimum in stellar luminosity density

We used Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images to identify six early-type galaxies with surface brightness profiles that decrease inward over a limited range of radii near their centers. The inferred luminosity density profiles of these galaxies have local minima interior to their core break radii. NGC...
