Left: schematic view of the b505 and b506 tiles, with the inner and outer regions indicated with dashed and solid magenta circles, respectively. Both the new galaxies cataloged in this work and those from the literature are included. The cyan dot corresponds to the cD galaxy. The red, blue, and green filled circles represent the elliptical, spiral, and uncertain galaxies, respectively, that have been detected and classified in this paper. The white squares correspond to Durret et al. (2015) galaxies and the white triangles to 2MASX galaxies. Right: false-color J (blue), H (green), and Ks (red) images of the inner region of the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster located in the VVVX b506 tile. The solid contours (orange) delineate the X-ray map drawn from ASCA data from the central cluster region. The colored boxes (zoomed-in views in the bottom-right panels) show examples of galaxy candidates that correspond to the different morphological classifications. The cyan box corresponds to the cD galaxy and the red, blue, and green boxes to the elliptical, spiral, and uncertain galaxies, respectively. The smaller boxes have lengths of 30 arcsec, while the side of the larger box is approximately 1 arcmin.
