Abstract | We present new multiband imaging data in the optical (BVRI and Hα) and near-infrared bands (JHK) of 15 candidate ring galaxies from the sample of Appleton and Struck-Marcell. We use these data to obtain color composite images, global magnitudes and colors of both the ring galaxy and its companion(s), and radial profiles of intensity and colors. We find that only nine of the observed galaxies have multiband morpholog ... |
