Near infrared surface photometry of late-type Virgo cluster galaxies

Abstract

Near Infrared ( band) surface photometry has been obtained for 102 (88 late-type) Virgo cluster galaxies. A subset of 20 galaxies was also imaged in the H band. Magnitudes and diameters within the 21.5 and 22.0 mag arcsec-2 isophote, concentration indices and total H and magnitudes are derived. Basic statistical properties of a complete sample of spiral galaxies spanning the range are given.
