Scientific paper

We investigate the relative stellar populations of ~ 20 nearby field spiral galaxies by use of optical (UBV) and near-infrared (JHK) imaging. Preliminary work using the RC3 and Longo et al (1988) shows a correlation in H-band surface brightness with morphology, which motivates this study. Near-infrared imaging has been taken to confirm this trend. Bulge/disk decompositions are used in order to compare multiwavelength photometry of both bulge and disk components to stellar evolutionary models. This will determine relative ages of these components as a function of morphological type.
