A Near-Infrared μ0,K -- log h Relation for Early-Type Spiral Galaxy Disks
The K-band light-profiles from a sample of roughly 100 disk galaxies have been simultaneously modelled with a seeing convolved Sersic r1/n bulge and an exponential disk. Rather than a constant central disk surface brightness, in the near-infrared, μ0,K is shown to decrease with the logarithm of the disk scale-length (log h) - with a correlation
