Descripción
Colours of spiral galaxies generally are affected by the underlying old
stellar population, younger stars, and extinction by dust. Old and young
populations generally can be disentangled using a combination of blue
and near-infrared colours. Extinction effects are very hard to take into
account, except for galaxies with special orientations. In this paper we
give some results of one of the first studies of galactic bulges and
disks in various optical and near-infrared bands, and its implications
for the stellar populations of spirals.
