3D-structure of galactic disks
Abstract
We suggest a new photometric method to estimate thicknesses of galactic disks which is working for the galaxies seen under arbitrary inclination. We have applied our method to 45 galaxies from the open SDSS archive and to 57 galaxies from the Spitzer Survey S4G).
