| Abstract. We analyze asymmetries in the gas rotation curves of 113 galaxies drawn from the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey, spanning a broad range of luminosities and morphologies. If the origin of the rotation curve is chosen to minimize the asymmetry, then 26 % of sample galaxies show asymmetry?5 % within 1.3r e. However, not all gas kinematic asymmetries indicate asymmetries in the underlying potential. 1. | |||||||||||||
