Abstract
We present near-infrared H-band (1.65 mu m) surface photometry of 558 galax ies in the Coma Supercluster and in the Virgo cluster. This data set, obtai ned with the Arcetri NICMOS3 camera ARNICA mounted on the Gornergrat Infrar ed Telescope, is aimed at complementing, with observations of mostly early- type objects, our NIR survey of spiral galaxies in these regions, presented in previous papers of this series. Magnitudes at the optical radius, total magnitudes, isophotal radii and light concentration indices are derived. W e confirm the existence of a positive correlation between the near-infrared concentration index and the galaxy H-band luminosity(1).
