| Abstract | Using a catalogue of galaxies complete to mz ≤ 14.5, the authors investigate the possibility of extracting a sample of nonclustered galaxies and identifying it with a homogeneous background of objects. They conclude, in agreement with previous findings, that such a background does not exist observationally and stress the fact that the sample of isolated galaxies listed in this paper represents galaxies whose properties do not depend on an environmental related evolution. |
