Sersic2D
(amplitude=1, r_eff=1, n=4, x_0=0, y_0=0, ellip=0, theta=0, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
astropy.modeling.Fittable2DModel
Two dimensional Sersic surface brightness profile.
- Parameters
- amplitudefloat
Surface brightness at r_eff.
- r_efffloat
Effective (half-light) radius
- nfloat
Sersic Index.
- x_0float, optional
x position of the center.
- y_0float, optional
y position of the center.
- ellipfloat, optional
Ellipticity.
- thetafloat, optional
Rotation angle in radians, counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
- Other Parameters
- fixeda dict, optional
A dictionary
{parameter_name: boolean}
of parameters to not be varied during fitting. True means the parameter is held fixed. Alternatively thefixed
property of a parameter may be used.- tieddict, optional
A dictionary
{parameter_name: callable}
of parameters which are linked to some other parameter. The dictionary values are callables providing the linking relationship. Alternatively thetied
property of a parameter may be used.- boundsdict, optional
A dictionary
{parameter_name: value}
of lower and upper bounds of parameters. Keys are parameter names. Values are a list or a tuple of length 2 giving the desired range for the parameter. Alternatively, themin
andmax
properties of a parameter may be used.- eqconslist, optional
A list of functions of length
n
such thateqcons[j](x0,*args) == 0.0
in a successfully optimized problem.- ineqconslist, optional
A list of functions of length
n
such thatieqcons[j](x0,*args) >= 0.0
is a successfully optimized problem.

Notes
Model formula:
\[I(x,y) = I(r) = I_e\exp\left\{-b_n\left[\left(\frac{r}{r_{e}}\right)^{(1/n)}-1\right]\right\}\]The constant \(b_n\) is defined such that \(r_e\) contains half the total luminosity, and can be solved for numerically.
\[\Gamma(2n) = 2\gamma (2n,b_n)\]References

input_units
¶ This property is used to indicate what units or sets of units the evaluate method expects, and returns a dictionary mapping inputs to units (or
None
if any units are accepted).Model sub-classes can also use function annotations in evaluate to indicate valid input units, in which case this property should not be overridden since it will return the input units based on the annotations.
