Direct imaging of haloes and truncations in face-on nearby galaxies
We use ultra-deep imaging from the IAC Stripe82 Legacy Project to study the surface photometry of 22 nearby, face-on to moderately inclined spiral galaxies. The reprocessed and co-added SDSS/Stripe82 imaging allows us to probe the galaxy down to 29-30 r‧-magnitudes/arcsec2 and thus reach into the very faint outskirts of the galaxies. We find
