Detailed Structural Decomposition of Galaxy Images
We present a two-dimensional (2-D) fitting algorithm (GALFIT) designed to extract structural components from galaxy images, with emphasis on closely modeling light profiles of spatially well-resolved, nearby galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Our algorithm improves on previous techniques in two areas, by being able to simultaneously fit a galaxy with an arbitrary number of compo...
متن کاملDecomposition of AGN host galaxy images
We describe an algorithm to decompose deep images of Active Galactic Nuclei into host galaxy and nuclear components. Currently supported are three galaxy models: A de-Vaucouleurs spheroidal, an exponential disc, and a two-component disc+bulge model. Key features of the method are: (semi-)analytic representation of a possibly spatially variable point-spread function; full two-dimensional convolu...
متن کاملMeasuring Shapes of Galaxy Images II: Morphology of 2MASS Galaxies
We study a sample of 112 galaxies of various Hubble types imaged in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) in the Near-Infra Red (NIR; 1-2 μm) J , H , and Ks bands. The sample contains (optically classified) 32 elliptical, 16 lenticulars, and 64 spirals acquired from the 2MASS Extended Source Catalogue. We use a set of non-parametric shape measures constructed from the Minkowski Functionals (MFs...

We investigate a sample of 112 galaxies of various Hubble types imaged in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) in the Near-Infra Red (NIR; 1-2 μm) J , H , and Ks bands. We use a set of non-parametric shape measures constructed from the Minkowski Functionals (MFs) for galaxy shape analysis. Using ellipticity (E) and orientation angle (Φ), as functions of area within the isophotal contour, as sh...
متن کاملThe collapse of gas discs in non-axisymmetric galaxy cores
Below a threshold energy, gas in the constant density core of a triaxial galaxy can find no simple non-intersecting periodic orbit to act as an attractor for its trajectory (El-Zant et al. 2003). If a disc of gas arriving from further out in the galaxy dissipates sufficient energy to fall below this threshold, it will thereafter collapse into the very centre. Such a mechanism may be relevant to...
