cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesvisible-astronomyLow surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) represent a significant percentage of local galaxies but their formation and evolution remain elusive. They may hold crucial information for our understanding of many key issues (i.e., census of baryonic and dark matter, star formation in the low density regime, mass function). The most massive examples - the so called giant LSBGs - can be as massive as the Milky Way, but with this mass being distributed in a much larger disk. Malin 1 is an iconic giant LSBG - perhaps the largest disk galaxy known. We attempt to bring new insights on its structure and evolution on the basis of new images covering a wide range in wavelength. We have computed surface brightness profiles (and average surface brightnesses in 16 regions of interest), in six photometric bands (FUV, NUV, u, g, i, z). We compared these data to various models, testing a variety of assumptions concerning the formation and evolution of Malin 1.2016A&A...593A.126Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/593/A126CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/593/A126https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/593/A126http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/593/A126https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/593/A126https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/593/A126http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/593/A126GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/593/A126/list (List of fits images)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/593/A126/list?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/593/A126/list?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/593/A126/list?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true188.8114814.322740.0055555555555555566/27942https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/593/A126?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/593/A126/listList of fits imagesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
