Other Classification Schemes

Even though the Hubble classification scheme is the most widely used system, there are several other schemes for classifying galaxies. De Vaucouleurs' T system, Elmergeen's classification of spiral arms, Morgan's classification system and Van den Bergh's classification of galaxies are few of them. These systems are described in detail by Van den Bergh (1998). This project made use of the Hubble classification system.
