Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Surface photometry was made for 137 galaxies on a UK Schmidt plate whose center is located at the center of the Hydra I (A 1060) cluster of galaxies. For 133 of the 137 galaxies the photometric parameters such as total magnitude, equivalent radius, concentration indices, and mean surface brightness were obtained. The total magnitudes were compared with those in the literature to check the accuracy of the present data. The estimated accuracy in the total magnitudes is about 0.1 mag at most for majority of the galaxies.
