Galaxy morphological classification is a system used by astronomers to divide galaxies into groups based on their visual appearance. There are several schemes in use by which galaxies can be classified according to their morphologies, the most famous being the Hubble sequence, devised by Edwin Hubble and later expanded by Gérard de Vaucouleurs and Allan Sandage.
Hubble sequence
The Hubble sequence is a morphological classification scheme for galaxies invented by Edwin Hubble in 1926.
It is often known colloquially as the “Hubble tuning-fork” because of the shape in which it is traditionally represented. Hubble’s scheme divides galaxies into three broad classes based on their visual appearance (originally on photographic plates):
Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light distributions and appear as ellipses in images. They are denoted by the letter E, followed by an integer representing their degree of ellipticity on the sky.
Spiral galaxies consist of a flattened disk, with stars forming a (usually two-armed) spiral structure, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge, which is similar in appearance to an elliptical galaxy. They are given the symbol "S". Roughly half of all spirals are also observed to have a bar-like structure, extending from the central bulge. These barred spirals are given the symbol "S.B.".

Webinar: "Deep learning algorithms for morphological classification of galaxies" by Helena Domínguez
By Dra Helena Domínguez Sánchez (ICE, CSIC)
Galaxies exhibit a wide variety of morphologies which are strongly related to their star formation histories. Having large samples of morphologically classified galaxies is fundamental to understand their formation and evolution. I will present recent results on morphological classifications for SDSS and DES surveys obtained with Deep Learning (DL) algorithms using convolutional neural networks (CNN). Supervised DL algorithms are fast, accurate and efficient but they rely on large training sets (~5000 ) of pre-labelled galaxies. I will show how transfer learning (i.e., the ability of CNNs to export knowledge acquired from an existing survey to a new dataset), helps to reduce by almost one order of magnitude the necessary training sample for m...

Galaxies exhibit a wide variety of morphologies which are strongly related to their star formation histories. Having large samples of morphologically classified galaxies is fundamental to understand their formation and evolution. I will present recent results on morphological classifications for SDSS and DES surveys obtained with Deep Learning (DL) algorithms using convolutional neural networks (CNN). Supervised DL algorithms are fast, accurate and efficient but they rely on large training sets (~5000 ) of pre-labelled galaxies. I will show how transfer learning (i.e., the ability of CNNs to export knowledge acquired from an existing survey to a new dataset), helps to reduce by almost one order of magnitude the necessary training sample for morphological classification. Another important caveat is that visually classified galaxies are usually very bright. We model fainter objects by simulating what the brighter objects with well-determined classifications would look like if they were at higher redshifts. The CNNs reach 97% accuracy to mr ~ 21.5, suggesting that they are able to recover features hidden to the human eye. Where a comparison is possible, our classifications correlate very well with Sérsic index, ellipticity and spectral type, even for the fainter galaxies. We provide classifications for ~27 million galaxies, the largest multi-band catalogue of automated galaxy morphologies to date.

IC 10’s morphological classification is a dwarf irregular galaxy and termed a ‘starburst’ galaxy (referencing the intense star formation taking place there), the only one of its kind found in our Local Group of Galaxies.
The Gini index, or Gini coefficient, is also used to study galaxies ... It’s a tool that helps astronomers determine a galaxy’s morphology and classification.
“This is a way to analyze the morphology of galaxies ... “What we really want is an unbiased way to quantify galaxy morphology and preferably one that makes very few assumptions.”.
