Rotational moments of galaxies - members of multiple systems of different types.
Abstract
The results of the determination of the total internal and orbital rotational moments of 21 isolated galaxies, 37 components of binary galaxies and 34 triplet components are presented. The mean values of the total and relative rotational moments of these spiral galaxies show a smooth change along Hubble's sequence, the maximum rotational moment corresponding to the Sa morphological type.
