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.

Structure and formation of elliptical and spheroidal galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is combined with published data to derive composite profiles of brightness, ellipticity, position angle, isophote shape, and color over large radius ranges.

Adaptive spatial binning of integral-field spectroscopic data using Voronoi tessellations
Michele Cappellari,Y. Copin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, adaptive spatial binning of integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) data is presented to reach a chosen constant signal-to-noise ratio per bin. But the method is not suitable for standard photometric imagery or any other 2D data.
