Abstract | A catalogue of early-type galaxies containing anomalous amounts and/or distributions of dust is compiled from the literature. The biases inherent in the catalogue are discussed. New CCD observations of selected dusty elliptical galaxies are presented that help to clarify the configuration of the dust. The morphological types, radio properties, radio-source orientations, neutral-hydrogen contents, and kinematics of the catalogue galaxies are reviewed, and the possible correlations between the presence and distribution of dust are compared to other attributes of these galaxies. |
