contents We perform a thorough study of the blow up profiles associated to the following second order reaction-diffusion equation with non-homogeneous reaction: $$ \partial_tu=\partial_{xx}(u^m) + |x|^σu^p, $$ in the range of exponents $1<p<m$ and $σ>0$. We classify blow up solutions in self-similar form, that are likely to represent typical blow up patterns for general solutions. We thus show that the non-homogeneous coefficient $|x|^σ$ has a strong influence on the qualitative aspects related to the finite time blow up. More precisely, for $σ\sim0$, blow up profiles have similar behavior to the well-established profiles for the homogeneous case $σ=0$, and typically \emph{global blow up} occurs, while for $σ>0$ sufficiently large, there exist blow up profiles for which blow up \emph{occurs only at space infinity}, in strong contrast with the homogeneous case. This work is a part of a larger program of understanding the influence of unbounded weights on the blow up behavior for reaction-diffusion equations.
