Abstract | ||
A sample of edge-on (or nearly edge-on) spiral and lenticular galaxies is selected to study the warp phenomenon in their disks. This sample contains 36 disk galaxies selected from Watanabe’s catalogue (Watanabe, 1983). We investigate the existence of physical relations between photometric and spectroscopic parameters and the warp degree of galaxies. | ||
