Tóm tắt

The disk masses of four low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies are estimated using the criterion of marginal gravitational stability. The constructed mass models are close to those for a maximum disk. The results show that the disks of LSB galaxies may be significantly more massive than is usually believed based on their brightnesses. In this case, their surface densities and masses are fairly typical for higher-surface-brightness spirals. Alternatively, it may be that LSB disks are dynamically overheated.
