Galaxies: Photometry, Galaxies: Individual (Ngc 4314)

Scientific paper

We have conducted a V, I, J, and H surface photometry of a barred galaxy NGC 4314 to analyze the morphology and luminosity distribution of the galaxy. By applying a semi two-dimensional profile decomposition method, we derived the luminosity fractions and the scale lengths of the three distinct components, bulge, disk, and bar: L_b 0.35, L_d 0.35, L_bar 0.30, r_e 22", r_0 50", and a 60". The bulge of NGC 4314 seems to be triaxial due to the isophotal twists but its luminosity distribution is well approximated by the r^{1/4}-law.
