Description
We have obtained (in BVRI filters) the structural parameters of four
disk galaxies, spanning a range of different morphological types. We
believe the parameters are reliable because an extensive part of the
galaxies' disks are free from contamination by other components, and a
detailed photometric method has been used to derive these quantities.
Several correlations between their structural parameters have been found
which support: a disk increasingly optically thick towards the center of
each galaxy; the older population of the bulge being more extensive than
the younger; and a `Scaled' Hubble sequence for the spirals.
