Left panels: the inclination dependence of the derived Sérsic index for disks fitted with Sérsic functions, due to combined dust and projection effects. The symbols represent the measurements while the solid lines are polynomial fits to the measurements. Right panels: the same but corrected for projection effects (). Upper panels are for the B-band and lower panels are for the K-band. From top to bottom, the curves are plotted for , 0.3, 0.5 (black), 1.0 (green), 2.0 (orange), 4.0 (red), and 8.0 (blue).
