Examples of the fits of the 1D mid-IR profiles extracted along the X and Y directions for two galaxies in our sample. The top panels are for NGC 6300, which is a case with a large fraction of extended mid-IR emission, whereas the bottom panels are for NGC 7213, which appears unresolved at the angular resolution of the mid-IR observations. The cyan dots are the observations and the red lines are the result of fitting the galaxy profile with just one Gaussian function. The green lines are the result of fitting the galaxy profile with the sum of two Gaussian functions, one to represent the unresolved component (orange dashed lines) and the second the extended emission (blue dotted-dashed lines).
