Morphological Types Primary: core outline, which is the most prominent structure seen in short exposures – DEPENDS ON GOOD SPATIAL RESOLUTION –Only one core classification per object, like a species Secondary: large-scale symmetries –DEPENDS ON DEPTH OF EXPOSURES Tertiary: relatively prominent extended features near the core –LOBES, SHELLS, HALOES, BOW WAVES… –DEPENDS ON DEPTH OF EXPOSURES Tertiary: small-scale features –ANSAE, JETS, “SPIKES”, FILAMENTS, ETC. –DETECTION IS SENSITIVE TO RESOLUTION AND FILTER Primary: core outline, which is the most prominent structure seen in short exposures – DEPENDS ON GOOD SPATIAL RESOLUTION –Only one core classification per object, like a species Secondary: large-scale symmetries –DEPENDS ON DEPTH OF EXPOSURES Tertiary: relatively prominent extended features near the core –LOBES, SHELLS, HALOES, BOW WAVES… –DEPENDS ON DEPTH OF EXPOSURES Tertiary: small-scale features –ANSAE, JETS, “SPIKES”, FILAMENTS, ETC. –DETECTION IS SENSITIVE TO RESOLUTION AND FILTER
