Abstract:
    We use HST ACS and NICMOS imaging to study the inner B-I and I-H
    colors of nine late-type spiral galaxies, which we interpret on the
    basis of different star formation histories. The colors and scale
    lengths of the bulges of these late-type systems are correlated with
    those of the disks in which they are embedded. We find that in about
    half of the systems, the bulk of the bulge mass formed more recently
    than the disk. In the remainder, early bulge formation was
    supplemented by continuing "rejuvenating" star formation. More massive
    bulges are generally older.

Description:
    The nine galaxies of the present sample were selected from our WFPC2
    and NICMOS survey.
