Scientific paper

Among a sample of 23 nucleated dwarf ellipticals and dS0s observed with the Very Large Telescope in B and R, we found four systems exhibiting non-axisymmetric structures, such as a bar and/or spiral arms, indicative of a disk (IC0783, IC3349, NGC4431, IC3468). The results suggest that the fraction of early-type dwarfs hosting a disk component could be higher than previously thought. In a possible scenario they are former late-type disk galaxies which have been transformed to the objects we observe today during their infall to the cluster.
