Descripción
We are studying the properties of a sample of satellite galaxies around
nearby isolated spirals (Zaritsky et al. 1997), with the aim of testing
hierarchical models of galaxy formation. Satellite galaxies can give us
information on intermediate steps in the merging and aggregation
processes which, according to the models, form the larger dynamical
systems we observe. Here, we present the first results on the analysis
of the morphology of our satellite sample.
