| contents | EllipSect is a user-friendly analysis and measurement tool, implemented in Python, that operates on the imaging data together with the output of the widely used 2D surface-brightness fitting code GALFIT 3. It produces publication-quality figures and exportable data products to enable quantitative assessment of GALFIT 3 models and their individual components. In addition, EllipSect computes non-parametric measurements that are not provided by GALFIT 3, including the total effective radius resulting from multi-component fits, cusp radius, and the Petrosian radius. This paper provides examples and a quick guide for EllipSect. |
