| Description | We have used the available published observations of the rotational properties of elliptical galaxies to test theories of galaxy formation which predict an anti-correlation between the angular momentum of a galaxy and its initial overdensity and hence formation epoch. We find that the prediction, at least in its simplest form, is not supported by the data for well studied elliptical galaxies which have a range in rotational support. |
