The effects of dust on the derived photometric parameters of disks and bulges in spiral galaxies

Spiral galaxies contain large amounts of interstellar dust, that absorbs and scatters their photons. This results in strong distortions and changes of their observed stellar images from what would be observed in the absence of the dust. Because of this the measured structural parameters of spiral ga...
