Abstract
Motivation and Goals: A definition of “isolated galaxy” is needed before
one can properly assess the properties of peculiar and interacting
ones. We have constructed and analyzed the first complete
unbiased control sample of the most isolated galaxies in the northern
sky to serve as a template in the study of star formation and galaxy
evolution in denser environments. The AMIGA sample is particulary
important for the study of high-z galaxies where interactions played a
more fundamental role than today.
