Fig. 1

Top: relative strength of the first two Fourier modes in the gravitational potential (Qm = 1,2) as a function of radius, compared to the total strength of the non-axisymmetric perturbation QT. Bottom: phases of the first two Fourier modes in the gravitational potential φm = 1,2, measured counter-clockwise from the major axis of the galaxy on the deprojected image (represented here in radians from −π to π).
