RELATION BETWEEN LUMINOSITIES AND DIAMETERS

Among the nebulae of each separate type are found linear correlations

between total magnitudes and logarithms of diameters. These are

shown in Figures 2–5 for the beginning, middle, and end of the sequence

of types and also for the irregular nebulae. In Figures 2 and 3

adjacent types have been grouped in order to increase the material, and

in Figure 5 the Magellanic Clouds have been added to increase the range.
