jeanspy.model.SersicModel.density_3d_LGM

Class and construction: SersicModel.

SersicModel.density_3d_LGM(r_pc)[source]#

Lima Neto–Gerbal–Márquez Sérsic deprojection.

Notes

Inputs and units. r_pc is scalar or an array in pc; n and re_pc come from stored parameters.

Returns and shape. Unit-integral tracer density in pc^-3 with input shape.

Validity. Requires 0.5 <= n <= 10 (otherwise ValueError). This approximate deprojection is not a general central-limit formula.
