Abstract
We present near-infrared H-band (1.65 mu m) surface photometry of 297 galaxies (mostly) in the Coma Supercluster obtained with the Arcetri N ICMOS3 camera, ARNICA, mounted on the Gornergrat Infrared Telescope. M agnitudes and diameters within the 21.5 mag arcsec(-2) isophote, conce ntration indices, and total H magnitudes are derived. Combining these observations with those obtained similarly using the Calar Alto telesc opes (Paper I) we find a strong positive correlation between the near- infrared concentration index and the galaxy H-band luminosity, and we analyze the consequent dependence of near-infrared growth-curves on H- band luminosity.
