Abstract
The distinguishing number (index) () of a graph is the least integer such that has an vertex (edge) labeling with labels that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. It is known that for every graph we have . In this note we characterize trees for which this inequality is sharp. We also show that if is a connected unicyclic graph, then .
