J/AZh/71/706   BV photometry of galactic nuclei (Silchenko, 1994)
================================================================================
Photometrically Distinct Nuclei in Elliptical and Early-Type Disk Galaxies.

ADC_Keywords: Galaxies, photometry ; Morphology

Description:
    Using all data in the literature on multiaperture photometry in B and
    V bands for 237 galaxies, a list of candidates for galaxies with
    chemically distinct nuclei is compiled. Twenty-five to 50 percent of
    galaxies with morphological types from E to Sb are found to be such
    candidates.
