Descripción
The relations between the angular momentum (J) and the mass (M) for a
sample of spiral galaxies are discussed for galaxies distributed in the
rotational velocity (V) - size (R) plane. It is found that, for a given
mass, Sc galaxies have larger angular momentum (~20%) than Sa. The
absence of segregation in the angular momentum (J) - mass (M) plane is
explained in terms of observational errors, which are greater than the
expected differences in J between galaxies of equal mass and different
type. The distribution of lenticular and irregular galaxies in the V-R
plane is also discussed.
