Notes. (1) Wedge angle; (2) R1 radius corresponding to the radius at which the stellar mass surface density reaches 1 M pc−2; (3)–(6) Mean photometry of the extended disk between a radial range of 70 kpc to about 110 kpc. The columns mark the mean g- and r-band surface brightness levels, mean g − r color, and the mean stellar mass surface density, respectively.
