And they lay to the East the dead man's feet.

Thus the nucleus is significantly rounder than the galaxy itself, although overall, FCCB729 is a very flattened system.

The same structure is visible in the Brγ and [Fe ii] flux maps, although a bit rounder.
The central parsecs of Centaurus A: High Excitation Gas, a Molecular Disk, and the Mass of the Black Hole
They find that while the central concentration does result in rounder, more radially anisotropic haloes, the halo’s shape is essentially returned to its original state if the disc is artificially ‘evaporated’.
Influence of baryons on the orbital structure of dark matter haloes
This indicates that the character of the orbits is not generally changed by the central mass concentration, the box orbits are not destroyed but simply become rounder in line with the potential.
Influence of baryons on the orbital structure of dark matter haloes
Power-law galaxies clearly have preferentially higher ellipticity, while core galaxies are preferentially rounder, in general agreement with the results of Tremblay & Merritt (1996), who explored the relationship between axis ratios and luminosity.
Cores and the Kinematics of Early-Type Galaxies
Power-laws with inner ellipticity > 0.25 mostly have inner stellar disks, rounder than 0.25 never do.
Cores and the Kinematics of Early-Type Galaxies
Nearly all power-law galaxies with ǫ ≥ 0.3 have inner disks, implying that they are present in the rounder powerlaw galaxies, but are not seen due to unfavorable viewing angles.
Cores and the Kinematics of Early-Type Galaxies
Since the multipole intensity used in Figure 1 (km = 0.3) is smaller than that used in Figure 2 (km = 0.6), the critical curves of the former are rounder than those of the latter.
Multipole Gravitational Lensing and High-order Perturbations on the Quadrupole Lens
For example, about a decade ago it was suggested that radio-loud galaxies were redder by about 0.03 mag. in B − V (Sparks 1983), rounder (Disney & Sparks 1984), more rapidly rotating (Jenkins 1984) and in denser environments (Sparks et al. 1984) than their radio-quiet counterparts of the same optical luminosity.
The radio background: radio-loud galaxies at high and low redshifts
It is related to the fact that the PSR galaxies are also rounder, and generally lacking in an extended aligned component of blue light.
The radio background: radio-loud galaxies at high and low redshifts
This result is very robust and quite obvious given the images: the PSR galaxies are rounder, with generally little sign of the disturbance evident in many of the 3CR images.
The radio background: radio-loud galaxies at high and low redshifts
This could be the reason for the significantly rounder globular clusters in M31 and the Milky Way as compared with the LMC and SMC clusters (Han & Ryden 1994).
Dynamical masses, time-scales, and evolution of star clusters
In inside-out outbursts the rise to maximum is therefore slower than when the outburst is outside-in, and the light curves have a ‘rounder’ shape.

Faster rotators seem to have rounder disks, which are more self-gravitating.

Figure 4 suggests that faster rotators have rounder disks, which are more self-gravitating.
