Surface brightness profiles of VCC 479 in the NGVS u, g, i, and z bands. The dots with error bars denote the average surface brightness profile from the ellipse fitting. Solid curves show the best-fit decomposition of the surface brightness profiles into an outer exponential component and a central light excess modeled with a Sersic profile. For clarity, the surface brightness profiles in the u and z bands are arbitrarily shifted downward by 3 mag arcsec⁻². The residuals, obtained by subtracting the best-fit profiles, are shown in the bottom panel.
