Description
The isophotal profiles and colour maps of a sample of 12 spiral galaxies
allowed us to analyse the different structural components that compose
them. These components were parameterized by performing a decomposition
of the galaxy brightness profiles. Inferring the geometry for each
component, we have obtained the spatial mass distribution and the
gravitational potential for each object. Here we present the detailed
analysis for one of the galaxies in the sample, the barred galaxy NGC
1300.
