Stellar Populations in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
Summary
This project started in 1999. The goal is to investigate
the stellar populations in low surface brightness galaxies,
comparing results with normal ``high surface brightness'' galaxies.
The sample includes 110 galaxies from the Impey et al. (1996) catalogue.
The study includes B, R, J and Ks high S/N imaging and optical spectroscopy
using large aperture telescopes, necessaries because of the very low
surface brightness fainter than 22.0 mag/arcsec**2 in B band.
First results appeared in the ASP
proceeding Vol. 221, p. 195: "Near IR-Imaging of LSB Galaxies:
the High and Low HI Content Cases".
