GALFITools serves as a comprehensive library designed to enhance the functionality of GALFIT, a powerful tool for galaxy modeling. With GALFITools, you can achieve the following:

  • Generate mask images, calculate sky backgrounds, and extract stars from your images.
  • Perform essential computations such as deriving effective radius, Sersic index, slope, FWHM, and more.
  • Conduct photometry analysis utilizing Ds9 regions.
  • Create various visual representations including galaxy images, models, and residual images.
  • Construct detailed surface brightness profiles.
  • Estimate Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) for optimal GALFIT utilization.
  • Generate simulated galaxy data images to refine your modeling techniques.
