Self-consistent Color-Mass-to-Light-Ratio relations for Low Surface
  Brightness Galaxies
  The color - stellar mass-to-light ratio relation (CMLR) is a widely accepted
tool to estimate the stellar mass (M*) of a galaxy. However, an individual CMLR
tends to give distinct M* for a same galaxy when it is applied in different
bands. Examining five representative CMLRs from literature, we find that the
difference in M* predicted in different bands from optical to near-infrared by
a CMLR is 0.1-0.3 dex. Therefore, based on a sample of low surface brightness
galaxies (LSBG) that covers a wide range of color and luminosity, we
re-calibrated each original CMLR in r, i, z, J, H, and K bands to give
internally self-consistent M* for a same galaxy. The g-r is the primary color
indicator in the re-calibrated relations which show little dependenceon red (r
- z) or near-infrared (J - K) colors.Additionally, the external discrepancies
in the originally predicted stellar mass-to-light ratio (M*/L) by the five
independent CMLRs have been greatly reduced after re-calibration, especially in
near-infrared bands, implying that the near-infrared luminosities are more
robust to predict M*/L. For each CMLR, the re-calibrated relations provided in
this work could produce internally self-consistent M* from divergent
photometric bands, and are extensions of the re-calibrations from
Johnson-Cousin filter system by the pioneering work of McGaugh & Schombert
(2014) to SDSS filter system.
