Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current evidence suggests that elliptical galaxies probably contain about the same proportion of their mass in the form of dark matter as do spiral galaxies. While our understanding of dark matter in elliptical galaxies is still developing, studies suggest that they follow the same dark matter scaling relations as spiral galaxies, indicating a similar distribution of dark matter.
