In the recent years, the interest on studying the outer parts of spiral galaxies is rising. ... During this talk I will speak about my current work as part of my PhD project focused on the stellar content in these outer regions. ... I will finish showing the effect that satellite accretion has on shaping the chemical and kinematic properties of the outskirts of simulated galaxies, as well as the effect of such accretion in the shape of the stellar age profile as shown by the RaDES set of galaxies. ...

Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
