Surface brightness profile of our mock galaxy in an edge-on view. The black horizontal and vertical lines show the boundaries of the kinematic bins. We only show the positive quadrant of our FOV (x′> 0 kpc, y′> 0 kpc). The yellow contours correspond to the isophotes of the system (q_* = q = 0.8). In the top panel we have plotted the surface brightness normalised to its central value as function of x′, i.e. along the (projected) major axis of the galaxy.
