Scientific paper

CCD frames in the B, V, R, and I passbands were obtained for the nearly edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 6835. The frames were analyzed to derive standard geometric and photometric parameters as well as luminosity and color distributions. The analysis of the luminosity profiles shows the existence of a flattened bulge and an exponential disk. The face-on parameters of the disk were obtained from a fit of an exponential disk seen edge-on to the observed data. The distribution of color indices along the major axis shows a pronounced blue gradient toward the nucleus, which is interpreted as a region of recent stellar formation.
