6 Conclusions

On the whole, it can be concluded that our model predicts the galaxy surface brightness radial profiles over a large range of radii with an accuracy of about 30% for most galaxies. Such an accuracy in the model's predictions must be considered satisfactory in most cases in view of its application to the planning of future galaxy observations.
