Scientific paper

The results of a study of environmental effects on the flattening distribution of galaxies are presented. Samples of different morphological types in regions of high and low projected galaxian density were prepared using the Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies. No significant differences were detected for the E and spiral galaxies. However, the study suggests that there is an excess of flat S-phi systems in regions of high galaxian density with respect to the field systems. These 'flat' S-phi's are interpreted as being gas-stripped Sa galaxies, and the consequences of such a hypothesis are also discussed.
