WINGS K surface photometry

This catalog contains the surface brightness measurements of ~71700 galaxies detected in the K images of the WINGS cluster survey for a subsample of 26 clusters observed with the UKIRT WFCAM. For each galaxy K magnitude, mean surface brightness, effective radius, Sersic index and axial ratio are given, together with their erros. These global parameters were obtained by simultaneously fitting the major and minor axis light growth curves of galaxies with a 2D flattened Sersic-law, convolved by the appropriate, space-varying PSF, which was previously evaluated by the tool itself.
