Abstract
In the previous papers of this series we collected and reduced to the same system all the available photometric data obtained in the ultravi olet (UV) range for normal (i.e. non active) galaxies. Here we use the se data to derive standard UV luminosity profiles for three morphologi cal bins (E/SO; Sa/Sb; Sc/Sd) and extrapolated total magnitudes for al most 400 galaxies. We find that: 1) the UV growth curves are well matc hed by the B-band revised standard luminosity profiles, once a proper shift in the effective radius is applied, and 2) the UV Light in early -type galaxies is more centrally concentrated than the visible light.
