Query: New insights into the photometric structure of Blue Compact Dwarf
  Galaxies from a deep Near-Infrared study   We present deep Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging of Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
(BCDs), allowing for the first time to derive and systematize the NIR
structural properties of their stellar low-surface brightness (LSB) host
galaxies. Compared to optical data, NIR images, being less contamined by the
extended stellar and ionized gas emission from the starburst, permit to study
the LSB host galaxy closer to its center. We find that radial surface
brightness profiles (SBPs) of the LSB hosts show at large radii a mostly
exponential intensity distribution, in agreement with previous optical studies.
At small to intermediate radii, however, the NIR data reveal an inwards
flattening with respect to the outer exponential slope ("type V SBPs", Binggeli
& Cameron 1991) in the LSB component of more than one half of the sample BCDs.
This result may constitute an important observational constraint to the
dynamics and evolution of BCDs. We apply a modified exponential fitting
function (Papaderos et al. 1996a) to parametrize and systematically study type
V profiles in BCDs. A Sersic law is found to be less suitable for studying the
LSB component of BCDs, since it yields very uncertain solutions.
