摘要:

在2010年,Spergel提出了一种替代传统Sersic形式的星系光度剖面,基于第二类修正的贝塞尔函数。他的动机是希望一个准确的单参数配置文件的形式与一个简单的傅立叶变换(在傅立叶变换的Sersic配置文件不能写在封闭的形式),但我们发现,Spergel配置文件几乎普遍使积分更容易时,它取代Sersic配置文件中的被积函数。在关于这一主题的原始论文中,斯佩格尔指出,他的轮廓似乎与Sersic的平均值一样适合星系。在这里,我们通过比较拟合Sersic和Spergel形式与数据的残差来定量观察。我们发现,Spergel配置文件实际上适合更好地比Sersic的16个星系的随机样本。

英文摘要:

In 2010 Spergel introduced an alternative to the traditional Sersic form for galactic luminosity profiles based on modified Bessel functions of the second kind. His motivation was the desire for an accurate one-parameter profile form with a simple Fourier transform (in contrast to the Fourier transform of the Sersic profile which can't be written in closed form), but we have found that the Spergel profile almost universally makes integrals easier when it replaces the Sersic profile in the integrand. In the original paper on the subject Spergel noted that his profile seems to fit galaxies on average just as well as Sersic's. Here we make this observation quantitative by comparing the residuals from fitting Sersic and Spergel forms to data. We find that the Spergel profile actually fits better than the Sersic for a random sample of 16 galaxies.
