A Photometric Method for Quantifying Asymmetries in Disk Galaxies
David A. Kornreich, Martha P. Haynes, Richard V. E. Lovelace
A photometric method for quantifying deviations from axisymmetry in optical images of disk galaxies is applied to a sample of 32 face-on and nearly face-on spirals. The method invo…
