I worked a bit on my (very technical) paper on galaxy profiles. I greatly improved my code and its output, worked on the text and citations, and made use of the exceedingly useful information in Ciotti & Bertin (1999). One issue that I am avoiding relates to the Sersic profiles: I have mixture-of-Gaussian expansions for several kinds of profiles, but I have fit them all independently. Should I also try to find continuous transformations of the Gaussian amplitudes and variances as a function of Sersic index?
No.
