Description
We present the results from an analysis of surface photometry of B, R, and H{alpha} images of a total of 114 nearby galaxies (v_helio_<4000km/s) drawn from the Palomar/Las Campanas Imaging Atlas of blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies. Surface brightness and color profiles for the complete sample have been obtained. We determine the exponential and Sersic profiles that best fit the surface brightness distribution of the underlying stellar population detected in these galaxies. We also compute the (B-R) color and total absolute magnitude of the underlying stellar population and compared them to the integrated properties of the galaxies in the sample.
