Abstract

PDS was used to get the structure of two barred spiral galaxies NGC 1313 and NGC 1365. The result shows that NGC 1365 has both a deep spheroidal component and an exponential disk, but NGC 1313 has only an prominent exponential component. The luminosity profiles indicate that KGC 1313 is in type I and NGC 1365 belongs to type II. The length scales $({\alpha}^{-1})$ were derived from the exponential luminosity distributions as 1.64 kpc for NGC 1313 and 2.49kpc for KGC 1365.
