Notes. The first column indicates the different structures in NGC 253. In Col. 2 we indicate the empirical law adopted to fit the light distribution. In Col. 3 we list the total magnitude corresponding to each component; and from Cols. 4 to 10 we list the structural parameters that characterise each empirical law (i.e. effective surface brightness μe, effective radius re and n-exponent of the Sersic law, and central surface brightness μ0 and scalelength rh for the exponential law).
