Scientific paper

Photoelectric and photographic surface photometry has been carried out for 13 of the more luminous members of the Fornax cluster of galaxies. The data are presented in the form of sets of calibrated isophotes, luminosity profiles, ellipticity curves, and orientations. Total magnitudes are calculated and are combined with revised luminosities of the dwarf cluster members to give a cluster luminosity function. The color variation with radius is given for NGC 1399. In structure the nuclei of the two giant barred galaxies are very different, as shown by high-resolution photographs.
