class Gaussian[source]#

Bases: Gaussian, Gaussian, LightMassProfile

The elliptical Gaussian light and mass profile.

This simultaneously represents the luminous emission and stellar mass of a galaxy.

Parameters:
  • centre (Tuple[float, float]) – The grid of The (y,x) arc-second coordinates of the profile centre.

  • ell_comps (Tuple[float, float]) – The first and second ellipticity components of the elliptical coordinate system.

  • intensity (float) – Overall flux intensity normalisation in the light profiles (electrons per second).

  • effective_radius – The radius containing half the light of this light profile.

  • mass_to_light_ratio (float) – The mass-to-light ratio of the light profiles.

Integrand used by mass_angular_within_circle_from to compute the total projected mass within a circle.

padded_image_2d_from

Evaluate the light object's 2D image from a input 2D grid of padded coordinates, where this padding is sufficient to encapsulate all surrounding pixels that will blur light into the original image given the 2D shape of the PSF's kernel.
