Below are the 39 brightest galaxies in the COMA core The first column is the J band image, second column the H band image, third column the K band image and the fourth column is the DSS optical image. The dark blue elliptical contour represents the 20 mag per sq. arcsec isophotal area, and the light blue contour the "flux growth" elliptical area. Sources that had been "subtracted" from the object fields are circled in red with the size of the circle given by the subtraction radius. Sources circled with a green circle/ellipse represent sources that were previously processed and subsequently blanked from the object field (blanked pixels are then substituted with corresponding isophotal values given by the object of interest, thereby recovering pixel information).
