Abstract

A brief overview is presented of some results from ongoing research on the properties of a complete sample of spiral galaxies in the Ursa Major cluster. Optical and near infrared photometric imaging is combined with HI 21cm-line synthesis mapping. These observations allow to study in great detail the Tully-Fisher relations in various passbands with different kinematic measures and to investigate the properties of the dark matter halos as a function of the global properties of the luminous matter.
