Abstract:
    We present near-infrared H-band (1.65{mu}m) surface photometry of 297
    galaxies (mostly) in the Coma Supercluster obtained with the Arcetri
    NICMOS3 camera, ARNICA, mounted on the Gornergrat Infrared Telescope.
    Magnitudes and diameters within the 21.5mag/arcsec^2^ isophote,
    concentration indices, and total H magnitudes are derived. Combining
    these observations with those obtained similarly using the Calar Alto
    telescopes (Paper I, <J/A+AS/120/489>) we find a strong positive
    correlation between the near-infrared concentration index and the
    galaxy H-band luminosity, and we analyze the consequent dependence of
    near-infrared growth-curves on H-band luminosity.
    For a description of the H band photometric system, see e.g. <GCPD/59>
