Title	Galaxy morphology
Author(s)	B. W. Holwerda
Publication	Bristol, Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021.
Abstract Note	Galaxy morphology is a long-standing subfield of astronomy, moving from visual qualifications to quantitative morphometrics. This book covers the descriptions developed by astronomers to describe the appearance of galaxies, primarily in optical, ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths. These descriptions range from galaxy-wide down to clumps of stars and the phenomena on scales in between. It covers qualitative classification using descriptions of the light distributions, as well as some of the near-future techniques that are expected to play a role as astronomy moves to surveys of millions of galaxies and to depths that are dominated by low-surface-brightness. Each chapter is accompanied by an appropriate Jupyter Notebook Python programming assignment. The book is aimed at the graduate student level for researchers in need to a review of galaxy morphology techniques.

Title	Galaxy morphology and classification
Author(s)	Sidney van den Bergh
Publication	Cambridge 1998.
Description	110p. (includes references, subject and object index)
Abstract Note	The classification of galaxies according to their shape is a fundamental tool in astronomy. It is through classification schemes that astronomers build a deeper understanding of how galaxies form and evolve. This long-awaited book by one of the pioneers of the field provides a concise and up-to-date summary of current ideas about galaxy morphology and classification. This is the first book dedicated entirely to the shapes and classifications of galaxies. It introduces the most widely used schemes, explains how they have developed and what they can tell us about galaxies. We are also shown how very distant galaxies (seen with the Hubble Space Telescope, for instance) often defy standard classification schemes. Finally, we look at recent work on the use of computers to automatically classify digital images of galaxies. This topical volume provides graduate students and researchers with a unique and indispensable reference on the classification and shape of galaxies.
