GEMS : galaxy fitting catalogs and testing parametric galaxy fitting codes : GALFIT and GIM2D

In the context of measuring the structures of intermediate-redshift galaxies with HSTACS surveys, we tune, test, and compare two widely used fitting codes (GALFIT and GIM2D) for fitting single-component Sérsic models to both simulated and real galaxy data. Our study focuses on the GEMS survey with t...
