Description:
This database contains surface brightness profiles in the optical
g, r, i, z bands and near-IR H-band for 286 Virgo cluster galaxies.
This morphologically-complete sample spans a huge range in galaxy
size, luminosity, surface brightness and stellar populations.
These data have been used to study the luminosity and surface
brightness distribution of Virgo cluster galaxies, in McDonald et
al. (2009MNRAS.394.2022M). We find compelling evidence for bimodal
populations in surface brightness, with both early- and late-type
galaxies having a dearth of intermediate surface brightness galaxies.
Most convincing is our confirmation of the result by Tully and
Verheijen that the surface brightness of galaxy disks are strongly
bimodal (1997ApJ...484..145T)
The near-IR H-band data have been obtained from a variety of
telescopes. We downloaded archival images for 31/286 and 84/286 bright
galaxies from the 2MASS and GOLDMine online databases, respectively.
The remaining 171 galaxies have new observations from the UH 2.2-m
(130/286), CFHT (20/286) and UKIRT (21/286) telescopes. These data
were all reduced in a homogeneous way, as outlined in our data paper.
The optical g, r, i, z data were all obtained from the SDSS archives.
Surface brightness profiles were extracted homogeneously from the
optical and near-IR data following similar procedures, as outlined
in our paper (2011MNRAS.414.2055M)
The parametric and non-parametric parameters from bulge-disk
decompositions of 285 optical griz and near-IR H-band surface
brightness (SB) profiles are given in the bdd_* files in this
directory. The profiles are stored in the "prof_g", "prof_r",
"prof_i", "prof_z" and "prof_h" subdirectories, one for each color.
