| Abstract: |
J and K' surface photometry of several Seyfert and/or starburst galaxies have been obtained to assess the role of potential asymmetries on the galactic nuclear activity. The detailed central morphology and structural properties of those objects were analyzed by ellipse fits. The behavior of the J--K' color profile suggests that significant nuclear starbursts tend to have a redder center. A new near-IR indicator of nuclear star formation is proposed. |
