\medskip
$^a$ Corrected for galactic extinction (see Sect.~\ref{extinction});
NIR colors are transformed to the 2MASS system (cf. Sect.~\ref{transformations}). The $B$ band denotes the Johnson $B$. 
Errors include cumulative uncertainties in the determination of 
color profiles, the calibration and the transformation to the 
2MASS system.\\
$^b$ Possible local instabilities in one SBP at low $S/N$ levels.\\ 
$^c$ Possible contamination by gas emission over 
a large portion of the LSB host galaxy.
