Photometric deprojection of edge-on galaxies

Abstract

Photometric deprojection is used to determine the stellardisk and bulge parameters for several edgeon galaxies from the FGC catalog. The assumption that the galaxies of our sample belonging to the fourth (i.e., lowest) surfacebrightness class in the FGC are edgeon, lowsurfacebrightness (LSB) galaxies is considered.
