3. Results of the photometric and isophotal shape analyses

3.1. Spirals

Table 2 (click here) presents the parameters of 31 galaxies in Coma classified as spirals from visual inspection of the two plates OCA #2842 and OCA #2849, with our notes and from the morphological appareance on CCD data when available. In that Table, we also list separately three Coma galaxies classified as S from CCD data taken on December 27 and 28, 1994, and two Coma galaxies classified as spirals from images in our archives.

Table 3 (click here) presents the parameters of 36 galaxies in Perseus classified as spiral or peculiar, from their visual appearance on plate OCA #2977, on the Digitized Palomar Sky Survey and/or on our CCD images.

3.2. Early-type galaxies

The data presented in Tables 4 (click here) and 5 (click here), for early-type galaxies in Coma and Perseus respectively, include the usual photometric parameters in Cousin's R or Johnson V band, namely the asymptotic magnitude, the effective radius, the corresponding isophotal major axis, and the average surface brightness (hereafter SuBr) inside the effective isophote. Geometrical parameters are given next, the minimum axis ratio (or alternatively its value at the effective isophote), the representative e4 coefficient (see Paper I for the definition of e4 and f4), the axis ratio in the envelope, i.e. at the isophote tex2html_wrap_inline1110 mag arcsec-2 or tex2html_wrap_inline1114 mag arcsec-2, and a representative value for the isophotal twist. Next is a coded description, indicating the detection or absence of components such as bar, disk, spiral pattern, and the classification of disks and envelopes.

We emphasize that the units of angular measures in this paper and in Paper I are arcsec, not 0.1 arcmin as incorrectly stated in Paper I.

Table 4 (click here) lists the parameters of 28 early-type galaxies in Coma. The first 4 columns concern the catalogue data, the others list the measured data.

Table 5 (click here) lists the parameters of 27 early-type galaxies in Perseus. The first 2 columns concern the catalogue data, the others list the measured data.

In the notes to Table 4 (click here) and 5 (click here), we give qualitative remarks for galaxies which present either peculiar morphological properties or practical problems for classification.
