dc.description.abstractWe present the Galactic model parameters for thin disc estimated by Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data of 14 940 stars with apparent magnitudes 16 < g(o) <= 21 in six intermediate latitude fields in the first Galactic quadrant. Star/galaxy separation was performed by using the SDSS photometric pipeline and the isodensity contours in the (g - r)(o) - (r - i)(o) two colour diagram. The separation of thin disc stars is carried out by the bimodal distribution of stars in the (g - r)o histogram, and the absolute magnitudes were evaluated by a procedure presented in the literature (Bilir, S., Karaali, S., Tuncel, S. 2005. AN 326, 321). Exponential density law fits better to the derived density functions for the absolute magnitude intervals 8 < M(g) <= 9 and 11 < M(g) <= 12, whereas sech/sech(2) laws are more appropriate for absolute magnitude intervals 9 < M(g) <= 10 and 10 < M(g) <= 11. We showed that the scaleheight and scatelength are Galactic longitude dependent. The average values and ranges of the scaleheight and the scalelength are < H > = 220 pc (196 <= H <= 234 pc) and < H > = 1900 pc (1561 <= h <= 2280 pc) respectively. This result would be useful to explain different numerical values claimed for those parameters obtained by different authors for the fields in different directions of the Galaxy.
