NGC 4143: large‐scale R‐band isophotes (a); ellipse fits (b, WIYN R and NICMOS2 F160W [red]); B−R color map on the same scale as (a) (c, ﹩w=23﹩, color range within the disk =0.44 mag); small‐scale B−R color map (d, ﹩w=5﹩, color range = 0.31 mag, excluding the saturated center); WFPC2+NICMOS2 F606W−F160W color map (e, color range in central region = 0.34 mag); and ﹩\sigma =10﹩ unsharp mask of the WFPC2 F606W image (f). The blue nucleus in (d) is an artifact of a saturated R‐band image.
