| 释义 | lenticular galaxy[ lĕn-tĭk′yə-lər ] A galaxy having a central bulge surrounded by a flattened disk with no pattern of spiral arms.

Like spiral galaxies, they are disk-shaped with a central bulge, but like elliptical galaxies they contain relatively little gas and dust. Compare elliptical galaxy irregular galaxy spiral galaxy.
