Notes. The distances are in this work only used to scale the upper x-axis in the surface-brightness profile plots. Details of the original observations are given in Table A.1. Column 1, galaxy name; Col. 2, distance (Mpc); Col. 3, bandpass used in the observations; Col. 4, the ns-parameter in Eq. (4); Cols. 5–7, single-disc or thin-disc scale length (arcsec), scale height (arcsec), and intensity at the object centre (mag arcsec-2); Cols. 8–10, thick-disc scale length (arcsec), scale height (arcsec), and intensity at the object centre (mag arcsec-2); Cols. 11–13, bulge Sérsic index, half-light radius (arcsec), and magnitude difference Δμ = μ0,0μe; Col. 14, references, rows without a number refer to this study; and Col. 15, results are shown in this figure.

(a)

The values are taken from the sech2-sech2-exp-model in Table 6 of (7).

(b)

The authors fit the galaxy profiles with three discs where the parameters of the third disc are hr = 200″ and z0 = 7″.

(c)

Parameter errors are omitted, considering the uncertainty due to scattered light that appears to affect the models of (11).
