Scientific paper

A subset of the Malin & Carter (1983) catalogue of 'shell elliptical galaxies' has been surveyed at 20 and 6 cm with the VLA. Forty-two per cent of the galaxies were detected, down to a 6-cm flux density limit of about 0.6 mJy. This detection rate does not differ significantly from a normal population of mixed elliptical and S0 galaxies. Most of the radio detections, which are sources coincident with the galaxy nuclei, are unresolved by the C-array and so have angular sizes of less than 3 arcsec. The sample contains objects with a wide variety of optical appearances, suggesting that shell galaxies are not a homogeneous class with uniform physical characteristics.
