Abstract:
    The Ursa Major Cluster has received remarkably little attention,
    although it is as near as the Virgo Cluster and contains a comparable
    number of H I-rich galaxies. In this paper, criteria for group
    membership are discussed and data are presented for 79 galaxies
    identified with the group. Of these, all 79 have been imaged at B,R,I
    bands with CCDs, 70 have been imaged at K' with a HgCdTe array
    detector, and 70 have been detected in the H I 21 cm line. A complete
    sample of 62 galaxies brighter than M_B=-16.5 is identified. Images
    and gradients in surface brightness and color are presented at a
    common linear scale. As has been seen previously, the galaxies with
    the reddest global colors are reddest at the centers and get bluer at
    large radii. However, curiously, among the galaxies with the bluest
    global colors there are systems with very blue cores that get redder
    at large radii.
