Study photometric properties of spiral galaxy NGC 4448 using CCD camera with multiband filters

Abstract EN

The goal of our study is to perform detailed multiband surface photometry of the spiral galaxy NGC 4448 and its brightest star-forming regions.

The structure and composition of the stellar population in the surface brightness galaxy NGC 4448 was studied using BVR CCD photometry.

The observations were obtained on the 1.88 m optical telescope of Kottamia Astronomical Observatory (KAO), Egypt.

A two-dimensional decomposition of the galaxy bulge and disk components is carried out.

A powerful star forming region is observed near the galactic center.

Based on the positions of the various components of the galaxy in two color diagrams.

From the observations, the surface brightness profiles, Ellipticity profiles, position angle profiles and color indices profiles are described and studied.
