Optical photometry and H I synthesis observations of the southern edge-on Sc/Sd galaxy IC 5249 are reported. The rotation curve rises linearly out to a radius of 7 kpc and then appears to flatten out at ~100 km s-1. The H I mass out to 24.5 kpc is ~6 × 109 M⊙, or 10% of the total mass out to this radius. The color, central surface brightness, scale height, and scale length of the disk of IC 5249 are R - I ≈ 0.4, μ = 20.6 ± 0.1RC mag arcsec-2, 600 ± 40 pc, and 11 ± 2 kpc, respectively. Additional light to that predicted by an exponential disk is present at distances greater than 3 kpc from the disk. At 5 kpc the surface brightness is 27–28RC mag arcsec-2. The measured distribution of surface brightness is used to constrain the abundance of low-mass main-sequence stars in the halo of the galaxy. A halo made up entirely of main-sequence stars heavier than 0.13 M⊙ is excluded. We also find that less than 20% of the halo can be composed of main-sequence stars heavier than 0.30 M⊙. Further observations are required to determine the rotation curve of IC 5249 to large radii and to determine precisely the abundance of low-mass main-sequence stars in the halo of the galaxy.
