Descripción
The results obtained in Paper I are used to study possible relationships
between the truncation radius of stellar discs in the NIR and structural
parameters of the galaxies. The NIR truncation radius is larger for
brighter galaxies, being proportional to V_mc with c ≈
3/2, and with Vm being the asymptotic rotation velocity at
large radii (when the rotation curve becomes flat), and is lower for
higher wavelengths. When it is normalized to the scalelength, the
truncation is an increasing function of the central surface brightness
and is lower for late type galaxies, although these correlations are
weaker. These relations are in agreement with the scenario of
magnetically driven truncations.
