Photometric decomposition of edge-on galaxies indicates that projection effects cause a substantially higher fraction of Type II disk breaks than reported in previous work.

abstract
We present a new improved and completed version of the Flat Galaxy Catalogue (FGC) named the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalogue (RFGC) containing 4236 thin edge-on spiral galaxies and covering the whole sky. The Catalogue is intended to study large-scale cosmic streamings as well as other problems of observational cosmology. The dipole moment of distribution of the RFGC galaxies (l = 273 degr; b =+19 degr) lies within statistical errors (+/-10 degr) in the direction of the Local Group motion towards the Microwave Background Radiation (MBR).

The EGIDE project releases a tenfold larger catalogue of edge-on galaxies with griz photometry, stellar masses, redshifts and star formation rates, finding that red-sequence galaxies are thicker than blue-cloud ones and show a mass-dependent increase in flattening ratio.
