Skewness (defined as , where h 3 is the third Gauss–Hermite polynomial coefficient) of the super profiles derived from the receding and approaching side of each galaxy. The two outlying galaxies in the lower left quadrant are DDO 53 (top) and NGC 1569 (bottom). The plus and minus signs represent the signs of the skewness parameters. Symbols are as in Figure 8.
