Truncated stellar discs in the near infrared. II. Statistical properties and interpretation
The results obtained in paper I are used to study possible relationships between the truncation radius of stellar discs in the NIR and structural parameters of the galaxies. The NIR truncation radius is larger for brighter galaxies, being proportional to $V_m^c$ with $c \approx 3/2$, and with $V_m$ being the …
