The stellar mass density within spiral galaxy disks
Although K-band images provide quite a reliable estimate of the stellar mass distribution within the disks of spiral galaxies, we discuss how performing a color correction to reduce local stellar mass-to-light ratio variations leads to shorter disk scale lengths and has a notable effect on the morph...
