A '''Lenticular galaxy''' is a type of [[galaxy]] that is often considered to be an intermediate between [[spiral galaxy|spiral galaxies]] and [[elliptical galaxy|elliptical galaxies]].<ref>[http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/L/Lenticular+Galaxy Lenticular galaxy] from astronomy.swin.edu.au</ref> They are situated at the intersection of the Hubble tuning diagram, and labelled "SB0" or "S0" depending on whether the contain a bar or not.
They often have a mixture of features seen in spiral and elliptical galaxies; for example they often have a bulge and disk like structue like spiral galaxies but have no spiral arms or dust like an elliptical.<ref>[http://www.astro.cornell.edu/academics/courses/astro201/galaxies/types.htm Galaxy types] from astro.cornell.edu</ref>
