Scientific paper

The diameter versus surface brightness diagram is presented for 149 galaxies in the Virgo and the Ursa Major Clusters based upon a homogeneous data set of digital surface photometry. From the principal component analysis of photometric parameters, these two coordinates of the diagram are found to be most relevant to the study of the characteristics of galaxies. Two distinct branches are recognized for the distribution of galaxies in the diagram, and their meanings are discussed. The potential important uses of the diagram are pointed out, as the basis of a quantitative classification of galaxies and a characterization of clusters of galaxies.
