Number of modes needed to reconstruct some of the lines in early‐ to early late‐type galaxies, with the classification angles in the ranges (7.5, 20, 86, 92) (top), (5, 6, 80, 100) (middle), and (0, 2, 80, 100) (bottom). The figures on the leftmost panels show the mean spectra in each type, and the consecutive figures show the KL‐reconstructed spectra with different numbers of modes. All spectra are normalized at 5500 Å.
