Abstract

We have obtained U, B, and R CCD surface photometry for a sample of 39 elliptical galaxies. For each galaxy we have determined the surface brightness profile, U - R and B - R color profiles, and the ellipticity and position angle profiles, all as a function of major axis radius, using a two-dimensio...
