Figure 7: Mkn 600 (D=12.6 Mpc). For explanations of symbols and labels, see Fig. 1. a) J band image and isophotes. The circles at the SE of the galaxy's main body mark extranuclear knots, one of which (C) was studied in e.g. C01b. The extended red object "u'', described by the same authors and probably not belonging to Mkn 600, is marked. b), c) Surface brightness and color profiles. |

Figure 11: NGC 5058 (D=11.6 Mpc). For explanations of symbols and labels, refer to Fig. 1. a) J band image and isophotes. The blue north-eastern knot (NE) and the red source to the southeast (G) are marked. Small white crosses mark the northern (N1) and southern (S) maxima. The inset shows a magnified, unsharp-masked image of the region bracketed in the main image. See the text. b), c) Surface brightness and color profiles. The thick solid line illustrates an exponential fit to the stellar LSB component in J (cf. Sect. 3), computed in the radius range indicated by the light gray, long-dashed bar at the bottom of the figure. The emission in excess to this fit is shown by the small open circles. The thin dash-dotted curve gives an example of alternative decomposition solutions, using a type V model for the LSB component (Eq. (2) with b,q=3.8,0.9). The residuals to this fit are also plotted as a dash-dotted line. |
