Descripción
This study presents deep optical surface photometry in the R-band for
the three spiral galaxies NGC 1003, NGC 5533, and NGC 6674. The
luminosity profiles, derived by fitting ellipses to the isophotes, are
decomposed into bulge and disk contributions using the method proposed
by Kent (1986). The intrinsic bulge and disk axis ratios, used in the
iterative scheme, are 0.71 and 0.59 for NGC 5533, 0.44 and 0.33 for NGC
1003, and 0.90 and 0.50 for NGC 6674.
