Results for the surface brightness distribution along z for R = 2, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 kpc. The profiles flatten with increasing radii from R = 2 to 10 kpc, indicating an increase in disk thickness and strong flaring at 9 and 10 kpc. The slight decrease in disk thickness seen at 11 and 12 kpc is due to the effect of the observed decline in rotation curve.
