Broad-band photometry of the galaxies M 105 (left) and NGC 3384 (right) in the Leo I group from Watkins et al. (2014, W+14). Top panel: B-band surface brightness profile, the middle panel shows the B − V colour profile, and the bottom panel shows the ellipticity (blue) and position angle (red), all as a function of major-axis radius. Open circles denote quantities measured from a binned image (9 pix × 9 pix). The error bar in the top left panel denotes the typical error on the B-band surface brightness, and the error bar the middle panel denotes typical measurement errors on the B − V colour for the binned data. Panel a: data from Capaccioli et al. (1990, black diamonds), and their best-fit de Vaucouleurs profile (grey line) in the top panel. Their mean ellipticity and position angle are indicated by shaded bands in the bottom panel. Panel b: colour-corrected 2MASS profile Skrutskie et al. (2006, black diamonds), and the corresponding disc-spheroid decomposition (dotted, dashed, and solid grey lines) by Cortesi et al. (2013b) are shown in the top panel.
