Comparison of photometric parameters of LSB and HSB edge-on galaxies
Abstract
Description
Photometric parameters of stellar disks and bulges for several edge-on galaxies from the Catalog of Flat Galaxies (FGC) were determined. We discuss a difference between photometric parameters of LSB and HSB galaxies from our sample.
Also we present results of R CCD photometry of edge-on galaxy RFGC 3647. Deprojecting this galaxy we show that it has thin LSB disk (central surface brightness $22^m.2$ in R) and high ratio of radial to vertical scale lengths. It is shown that initially gaseous disk of the galaxy was unstable and its velocity dispersion was low. Stellar disk of this LSB galaxy was not heated significantly since that time.
