Journal ArticleDOI
Detailed structural decomposition of galaxy images
TL;DR: GALFIT as mentioned in this paper is a two-dimensional fitting algorithm 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.

TL;DR: The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) as mentioned in this paper is designed to probe the correlated evolution of galaxies, star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and dark matter (DM) with large-scale structure (LSS) over the redshift range z > 0.5-6.

Detailed Structural Decomposition of Galaxy Images
TL;DR: GALFIT as mentioned in this paper is a 2D fitting algorithm 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detailed decomposition of galaxy images. ii. beyond axisymmetric models
TL;DR: GALFIT as discussed by the authors is a 2D fitting algorithm that allows for irregular, curved, logarithmic and power-law spirals, ring, and truncated shapes in otherwise traditional parametric functions.
