Probing the stellar populations in the outskirts of spiral galaxies
We present our results on the stellar population properties of the outskirts of disk galaxies. In particular, we focus on spiral galaxies with stellar disk truncations in their radial surface brightness profiles. Using SDSS data we show color gradients. We find that the color radial profile exhibits a "U'-shape", showing a minimum at the position
