DOIAbstract
Context: This is the third paper in a series devoted to the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS). WINGS is a long-term project aimed at gathering wide-field, multiband imaging and spectroscopy of galaxies in a complete sample of 77 X-ray selected, nearby clusters (0.04<z<0.07) located far from the galactic plane (|b| 6520\ub0). The main goal of this project is to establish a local reference sample for evolutionary studies of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Aims: This paper presents the near-infrared (J,K) photometric catalogs of 28 clusters of the WINGS sample and describes the procedures followed to construct them. Methods: The raw data has been reduced at CASU and special care has been devoted to the final coadding, drizzling tec...
