Description:
Colour distributions have been obtained for 36 E and 4 SA0 galaxies of
the northern Local Supercluster, observed in 2000/2001 at the 120cm
telescope of Observatoire de Haute-Provence: field 11.6'x11.6'; scale
0.68"/pix. The radial profiles of the V magnitude and the colours U-B,
B-V, V-R and V-I, were measured in greatly enlarged radial ranges, as
compared to previous work, and with an improved accuracy. The colour
system is the one of Cousins.
