Notes. Amount of flaring in the older populations of the three galaxies (younger populations do not flare). The column “slope” gives the absolute flaring dz0/ dR, the column “rel. flaring” the relative increase of scale height (z0(Rmax)−z0(R = 0)) /z0(R = 0) over the full observed range in radii, and the column Rmax the maximum galactocentric radius to which a scale height was measured.
