Descripción
The radial profiles of five spiral galaxies (NGC 5194, NGC 3627, NGC 3351, NGC 5055, NGC 4736) in the J and K filters of the near infrared are presented. They were taken with the 1.5 m Carlos Sanchez Telescope of the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife). The infrared photometric parameters of the disk and bulge of NGC 5194 (M51), are calculated. The infrared spiral arms in this grand-design galaxy are detected. It is found that all these intermediate type spiral galaxies present characteristic bumps of infrared emission near the center.
