Example of the effect of a nearby object in the isophotal analysis of UGC 8882. The blue continuous line shows the result of the SBP modeling for the case when masking was used before data reduction, so that no close objects were present (nCo); see the right insert image. The dashed green line shows the results of SBP modeling without removing the close objects (Co), where all the surrounding objects are contributing; see the left insert image.
