TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D Sersic model fitting with GALFIT was used to classify low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in nearby clusters and analyzed their distribution and orientations in the cluster, and studied their colors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new g-and r-band mosaics of the SW group of the Fornax Cluster, which cover an area of 3 × 2 square degrees around the central galaxy NGC 1316.

TL;DR: The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) dwarf galaxy catalog as discussed by the authors was used to study the galaxies down to r'-band magnitude m(r') approximate to 21 mag (M-r' approximate to -10.5 mag), which opens a new parameter regime to investigate the evolution of dwarf galaxies in the cluster environment.

TL;DR: The VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey (VEGAS) as mentioned in this paper was designed to obtain deep multiband photometry in g,r,i, of about one hundred nearby galaxies down to 27.3, 26.8, and 26 mag/arcsec2 respectively.
