Image simulations and galaxy fitting in GEMS and STAGES: GALFIT vs GIM2D
In the context of big HST surveys, we present extensive and well tested image simulations to derive the survey detection completeness. We elaborate on the reliability of 2D galaxy fitting codes (GALFIT and GIM2D), which are widely used for morphological galaxy classification (especially for galaxies...
