| On the variation of ellipticity with radius in elliptical galaxies
Ellipticity profiles and isophotal structures of 75 elliptical galaxieswith declinations south of approximately -23 deg are compared. Thesample studied includes both isolated ellipticals and members of pairs,multiplets, groups, and clusters. It is found that: (1) ellipticalgalaxies present four trends as a function of radius, viz., constant,peaked, decreasing, and increasing outward; (2) there is a correlationbetween ellipticity profile and membership in groups or clusters; (3)the brightest ellipticals in rich groups and compact clusters haveellipticity profiles that increase with radius; and (4) rotation of themajor axis of the isophotes is correlated with asymmetry of theisophotes, regardless of the class of ellipticity profile.
