... A clear understanding of the 3D-structure of the nearby Virgo cluster and the knowledge of a precise cluster distance are key issues for many astronomical fields. ... From the scientific point of view the best choice for a study of the distance and 3D-structure of the Virgo cluster are the low-surface brightness dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies. ... Secondly, the dwarf ellipticals are the only galaxies which exist in large numbers in the Virgo cluster core (Binggeli et al. ...
... Printed in U.S.A. THE STELLAR DISK THICKNESS OF LOW SURFACE BRIGHTNESS GALAXIES D. Bizyaev 1,2,3 and S. Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
