Vertical surface brightness profiles fits to the PSF-deconvolved models in one radial bin for the whole edge-on galaxy sample in the combined rdeep band. From top to bottom and from left to right: two intermediate- to high-mass galaxies (NGC 0429 and UGC 01040), the two low-mass galaxies (UGC 00931 and UGC 01839), and NGC 1032. The full procedure for obtaining the fits is explained in Sect. 5.2. The observed data are the blue points, the PSF-deconvolved models are the green filled circles, and the resulting fits are the green solid lines. The dashed lines indicate the thin- (red) and thick-disc (black) contributions to the observed data. We show the physical parameters obtained from the fits of the bin for each galaxy: the scale heights of the thin and the thick discs (zt and zT, respectively); the fitted initial mass density ratio (ρ0T/ρ0t); and the thick- to thin-disc mass ratio (ΣTt) in the bin. The PSF contribution over the galaxy NGC 1032 is almost negligible due to the smooth light distribution. The whole set of plots, including the four radial bins, has been published in Martínez-Lombilla (2018).
