Vertical cuts of the simulated intensity distribution of the stellar disk in an edge-on orientation and its fit with single and double Gaussian components. The first two panels show vertical cuts at a radius of 2.5 kpc, and the last two panels show cuts at a radius of 3.5 kpc. The solid black lines represent the vertical cuts of the edge-on intensity profiles. The dashed red lines represent the fits. The first and third panels show a single Gaussian fit, whereas the second and fourth panels show a double Gaussian fit. The double Gaussian fits represent the data better, despite having a single-component disk.
