Initial release of R5Tools accompanying Graham (2026, MNRAS, in press), "R_e, or not R_e: Developing R_5 ≡ R_-2 as a scale radius for galaxy sizes, masses, and mass-to-light ratios".

  • Exact Sérsic b_n and R_5 / R_e relations.
  • Deprojection and 3D enclosed light fraction F_3D.
  • Refined M_-3 mass and (M_dyn/L)_-3 estimators.
  • Mass-follows-light virial coefficients K_V(n, 0.1 R_e) and K_V(n, inf).
