Near - Infrared photometry in the J , H and Kn bands for Polar Ring Galaxies : I . Data , structural parameters

چکیده
We present new Near-Infrared (NIR) observations, in the J, H and Kn bands, for a sample of Polar Ring Galaxies (PRGs), selected from the Polar Ring Catalogue (Whitmore et al. 1990). Data were acquired with the CASPIR near-IR camera at the 2.3 m telescope of Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatory. We report here on the detail morphological study for the central host galaxy and the polar structure in all PRGs of our sample. Total magnitudes, bulge-to-disk decomposition and structural parameters are computed for all objects. These data are crucial for an accurate modeling of the stellar population and the estimate of the star formation rates in the two components.

Internal Extinction in Spiral Galaxies in the Near Infrared
In order to study the effects of internal extinction in spiral galaxies we search for correlations of near infrared (NIR) photometric parameters with inclination. We use data from the 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalog (XSC) on 15,224 spiral galaxies for which we also have redshifts. For 3035 of the galaxies, I-band photometry is available which is included in the analysis....
متن کاملStructural Parameters of Stellar Disks from 2MASS Images of Edge-on Galaxies
We present results of an analysis of the J, H, and Ks 2MASS images of 139 spiral edge-on galaxies selected from the Revised Flat Galaxies Catalog. The basic structural parameters scalelength (h), scaleheight (z0), and central surface brightness of the stellar disks (μ0) are determined for all selected galaxies in the NIR bands. The mean relative ratios of the scaleheights of the thin stellar di...
متن کاملBV RI Surface Photometry of Isolated Spiral Galaxies
A release of multicolor broad band (BV RI) photometry for a subsample of 44 isolated spirals drawn from the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG) is presented. Total magnitudes and colors at various circular apertures, as well as some global structural/morphological parameters are estimated. Morphology is reevaluated through optical and sharp/filtered R band images, (B − I) color index maps, and...
متن کاملThe puzzle of the polar structure in NGC 4650
This work presents new surface photometry and two-dimensional modeling of the light distribution of the Polar Ring Galaxy NGC 4650A, based on near-infrared (NIR) observations and high resolution optical imaging acquired during the Hubble Heritage 1 program. The NIR and optical integrated colors of the S0 and the polar ring, and their scale parameters, are compared with those for standard galaxy...
متن کاملGalaxy NGC 6822 from Near - Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
We have measured near-infrared magnitudes in the J and K bands for 56 Cepheid variables in the Local Group galaxy NGC 6822 with well-determined periods and optical light curves in the V and I bands. Using the template light curve approach of Soszyński, Gieren and Pietrzyński, accurate mean magnitudes were obtained from these data which allowed us to determine with unprecedented accuracy the dis...
