Table 4: Intrinsic properties of the final model of NGC 5907 in the different bands. The absolute quantities (central emissivity, surface brightness and total luminosity) depend on the central stellar surface density and the radial and vertical scale length as given in Table 2. The first row gives the central emissivity $\epsilon _0$ and the second row shows the enhancement factor $(\epsilon /\epsilon _{\rm exp})_0$ with respect to the exponential extrapolation form $z\approx 3z_{\rm s}$ to the midplane. The mass-to-light ratios (M/L)₀at the midplane are very low due to the high fraction young stars. The next two rows give the central face-on surface brightness L(R=0) in physical and observational units. $m_{\rm tot}$ is the total apparent luminosity with the distance module $\Delta m=30.2$ mag and $\Delta m_{\rm te}=m_{\rm tot}-m_{\rm exp}$ quantifies the additional stellar light compared to pure exponential vertical profiles. The average stellar mass-to-light ratios $(M/L)_{\rm tot}$ of the model are the same for each vertical profile and the whole disc. For the exponential extrapolation $(M/L)_{\rm exp}$ is constant all over the disc and equals the M/L of the model at large heights z.
