A. Rifatto et al., THE UV PROPERTIES OF NORMAL GALAXIES .3. STANDARD LUMINOSITY PROFILESAND TOTAL MAGNITUDES, Astronomy & Astrophysics. Supplement series, 114(3), 1995, pp. 527-536
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.
