The Way We Measure: Comparison of Methods to Derive Radial Surface Brightness Profiles
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. S. de Jong
The breaks and truncations in the luminosity profile of face-on spiral galaxies offer valuable insights in their formation history. The traditional method of deriving the surface p…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes IV. The Structure of Stellar Discs in Edge-on Galaxies
S. P. C. Peters, G. de Geyter, P. C. van der Kruit +1
We present optical and near-infrared archival observations of eight edge-on galaxies. These observations are used to model the stellar content of each galaxy using the FitSKIRT sof…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes III. Kinematics and Structure of the HI disc
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. J. Allen +1
We present a new strategy for fitting the structure and kinematics of the HI in edge-on galaxies using a fit to the terminal-velocity channel maps of a HI data cube. The strategy c…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes II. The Galactus HI Modelling & Fitting Tool
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. J. Allen +1
We present a new HI modelling tool called \textsc{Galactus}. The program has been designed to perform automated fits of disc-galaxy models to observations. It includes a treatment…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes, V. Analysis of observations of edge-on galaxies
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. J. Allen +1
In the previous papers in this series, we have measured the stellar and \hi content in a sample of edge-on galaxies. In the present paper, we perform a simultaneous rotation curve…
