The V-R Diagram - a Diagnostic Tool for the Dynamical Classification of Spiral Galaxies
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
