➥ Tip! Refine or expand your search. Authors are sometimes listed as 'Smith, J. K.' instead of 'Smith, John' so it is useful to search for last names only. Note this is currently a simple phrase search.
EllipSect creates surface brightness profiles and extracts other photometric data from GALFIT (ascl:1104.010) output. It creates a surface brightness profile for the galaxy, model, and, optionally, individual model components. The code computes variables such as absolute magnitude, luminosity, flux, total apparent magnitude, and bulge to total ratio. EllipSect also computes mean surface brightness at effective radius, percentage of total light per component, radius at 90% of light (for Sersic components), among other variables.
