Near infrared surface photometry of late-type Virgo cluster galaxies

Near Infrared (K 0 band) surface photometry has been obtained for 102 (88 late-type) Virgo cluster galaxies. A subset of 20 galaxies was also imaged in the H band. Magnitudes and diameters within the 21.5 and 22.0 mag arcsec 2 isophote, concentration indices and total H and K 0 magnitudes are derived. Basic statistical proper- ties of a complete sample of spiral galaxies spanning the range 6:3 Virgo cluster make it a unique labora- tory for the statistical study of a complete volume-limited
