Abstract
Observations of the BL Lacertae objects Markarian 501 and 421 have been made with a CCD detector at the prime focus of a 3.6 m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. Each object was observed in two bands of FWHM equaling approximately 700 Å, centered at 5000 and 6500 Å. Photometric profiles for both objects are shown to be consistent with composite profiles from a point source and an elliptical galaxy which obeys the de Vaucouleurs surface brightness law. The derived photometric parameters of the underlying galaxies show them to be apparently normal elliptical galaxies.
