Abstract
Surface photometry of disk galaxies at 2 μm gives a much better indication of the mass distribution in their disk than that obtained from visual bands which are dominated by dust extinction and population effects. Perturbations in the disk of such systems (e.g. spiral patterns) can yield information on their dynamic state. Procedures for extracting and analyzing parameters of the spiral pattern in ordinary galaxies are discussed using K′ band photometry. General quantities for strength and shape of these perturbations are related to the possible location of major resonances in the galaxies. Finally, dust features located on (B-K′) maps are compared to the perturbation derived from near-IR.
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile
