Scientific paper

We present the results of an R-band study of the structure of a sample of isolated disk galaxies. Using mostly WIYN 3.5m observations we quantify the degree of optical asymmetry in 40 galaxies. The results have implications for the underlying gravitational potential and the origin of asymmetry in galaxies. This research was partially funded by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium.
