Description
We present extensive and accurate photometry in the near-infrared H band (about 1.62{mu}m) of a complete sample of objects in an area of about 400arcmin^2^ toward the Coma cluster of galaxies. The sample, including about 300 objects, is complete down to H~17mag, the exact value depending on the type of magnitude (isophotal, aperture, Kron) and the particular region studied. This is six magnitudes below the characteristic magnitude of galaxies, well into the dwarfs' regime at the distance of the Coma cluster. For each object (star or galaxy) we provide aperture magnitudes computed within five different apertures, the magnitude within the 22mag/arcsec^2^ isophote, the Kron magnitude and radius, magnitude errors, as well as the coordinates, the isophotal area, and a stellarity index. Photometric errors are 0.2mag at the completness limit. This sample is meant to be the zero-redshift reference for evolutionary studies of galaxies.
