Comparison of the orientation derived for the outflow (R.A.) with that inferred for the stellar disk of each galaxy from the HST F814W image using GALFIT. The dashed red line shows the identity, that is, when the inclination of the galaxy and the inclination of the outflow are the same. For a face-on polar outflow, both inclinations would be ∼90°, and for an edge-on polar outflow, both would be ∼0°. We have excluded from the figure galaxies that exhibit a nearly isotropic outflow (O.A. > 75°), as well as galaxies for which the inclination measured with GALFIT was too uncertain due to their complex surface brightness profile. The orange squares indicate galaxies with a measured continuum HLRs > 2 kpc. The formal uncertainties of the inclination provided by GALFIT are < 1°.
