AbstractNew HST images and spectra of the nuclear disks in two Virgo Cluster E/S0 galaxies reveal that they were probably formed together with their parent galaxies. The two galaxies show very different color gradients. This is most likely caused by the escape of high metallicity gas from early stars in the lower mass galaxy. One galaxy shows strong kinematic evidence for a massive central black hole.

Several properties of the 131 galaxies known within 9. 1 Mpc are investigated. 88 of these galaxies are concentrated into eight groups, leaving 33 percent of true field galaxies. There are E/S0 and S0 galaxies among the field galaxies; their types must be of cosmogonic origin. the groups have small velocity dispersion which limits the mean mass-to-light ratio for the different types of group galaxies to m/L < 20. Within the supergalactic plane the deviation from an ideal Hubble flow are small: the changes of ΔHO/<HO> with distance and direction are not larger than ten percent; the radial component of the peculiar motion of field galaxies is <25 km s−1. the differential luminosity function of S/Im galaxies is well approximated by a Gaussian with and . the luminosity function of E/S0 galaxies is much flatter with a possible minimum, separating true E's and dwarf ellipticals (Reaves, 1977). the sample galaxies are strongly concentrated toward the supergalactic plane; at a distance of 4 Mpc of the plane the luminosity density drops to half its value. There is also a pronounced luminosity density decrease with increasing distance from the Virgo cluster centre; at a distance of 30 Mpc the density has decreased by more than a factor of 104. the best estimate of the mean luminosity density within a sphere of 30 Mpc radius centered on the Virgo cluster is 1.5 · 108 L⊙ Mpc−3.
