/ Abstract

Abstract A large sample of low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies is selected from SDSS with B-band central surface brightness μ0(B) from 22 to 24.5 mag arcsec−2. Some of their properties are studied, such as magnitudes, surface brightness, scalelengths, colors, metallicities, stellar populations, stellar masses and multiwavelength SEDs from UV to IR etc. These properties of LSB galaxies have been compared with those of the galaxies with higher surface brightnesses. Then we check the variations of these properties following surface brightness.
