Abstract
In this investigation, we determined the Concentration (C) and Asymmetry (A) parameters in a sample of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDG) or candidate galaxies. Most of the galaxies in the sample were found to be in a very precise region of the C-A plane, which clearly separates them from other galaxies. In addition, the stellar mass () and the star formation rate () in the sample were determined using optical images and GALEX observations. The main results are: the and the in the TDG sample do not follow a linear correlation with the and respectively, as observed in the rest of galaxies and the and the have a linear correlation similar to that followed by galaxies at high redshift. Then, we can conclude that the C-A plane can be a useful method for the morphological identification of candidates for TDG or dwarf objects from very turbulent environments.
