The Intrinsic Flattening of Galaxy Disks
Highly inclined (edge-on) disk galaxies offer the unique perspective to constrain their intrinsic flattening, c / a , where c and a are, respectively, the vertical and long radial axes of the disk measured at suitable stellar densities. The ratio c / a is a necessary quantity in the assessment of ga...
