Scientific paper

Morphological characteristics of a sample of 56 nearby galaxies in 20 different fields are examined. These fields were selected from groups containing a strong (3C) radio galaxy between z=0.10 and z=0.22. Broadband images of each field were taken with both the STIS/CCD ( ~ 7230Å) and STIS/FUV-MAMA ( ~ 1530Å) in order to compare their optical and far-ultraviolet morphologies. Quantitative parameters including central concentration, asymmetry, blobbiness, and isophotal center displacement were used to classify the galaxies. We present preliminary results of our morphological analysis. This study was supported by HST grant, GO 7432.
