Embedded disks in Fornax dwarf elliptical galaxies.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present photometric and kinematic evidence for the presence of stellar disks, seen practically edge-on, in two Fornax dwarf galaxies, FCC 204 (dS0(6)) and FCC 288 (dS0(7)). This is the first time such structures have been identified in Fornax dwarfs. FCC 288 has only a small bulge and a bright flaring and slightly warped disk that can be traced out to ±23" from the center (2.05kpc for H0=75km/s/Mpc). FCC 204's disk can be traced out to ±20" (1.78kpc). This galaxy possesses a large bulge. These results can be compared to the findings of Jerjen et al. (2000A&A...358..845J) and Barazza et al. (2002A&A...391..823B) who discovered nucleated dEs with spiral and bar features in the Virgo Cluster.
