Answer to Question 1

Elliptical galaxies (class E) have no disk, no spiral arms, and almost no gas and dust. They range from huge giants to small dwarfs. Spiral galaxies (class S) are disk-shaped and usually have spiral arms and contain gas and dust. Some of these have a central region shaped like an elongated bar and are called barred spiral galaxies (class SB). A few disk galaxies contain relatively little gas and dust; these are called lenticular galaxies (class S0). Irregular galaxies (class I) are generally shapeless and tend to be rich in gas and dust.
