Abstract

Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies make up a significant fraction of the luminosity density of the local universe. Their low surface brightness suggests a different formation and evolution process compared to more-typical high-surface-brightness galaxies. This study presents an analysis of LSB galaxies found in images obtained by the International Liquid Mirror Telescope during the observation period from October 24 to November 1, 2022. 3,092 LSB galaxies were measured and separated into blue and red LSB categories based on their g′i′ colours. In these samples, the median effective radius is 4.7 arcsec, and the median value of the mean surface brightness within the effective radius is 26.1 mag arcsec−2. The blue LSB galaxies are slightly brighter than the red LSB galaxies. No significant difference of ellipticity was found between the blue and the red LSB galaxies.
