Surface brightness profile in g band for NGC 1042 as a function of the semimajor axis (sma) of ellipses. Top: Comparison of the method with the profile from Trujillo et al. (2021) with LBT data (in red) and our method applied to the same data (in green), and the difference between them under the main panel. Bottom: Comparison of the data with the profile from Trujillo et al. (2021) with LBT data (in red), the profile from Merritt et al. (2016) with Dragonfly data, and our method applied to DES data (in blue). The differences between the other profiles and ours are shown under the main panel. The dashed gray line is the R₂₅ of the galaxy when the dashed black line is the R_UV. The shaded area shows the uncertainties for LBT data with the method used here in the top panel and DES data with the method used here in the bottom panel.
