Fig. 8
Surface brightness profile for the brighter NE arm (blue) and the fainter SW arm (red) of the disk. The bumps that deviate from the average trends are probably caused by background galaxies (see text). The SW arm measurements start at a larger projected separation than for the NE arm because of a small asymmetry in the placement of the star behind the central bar.
