plot_vcirc

deprojected_sersic_models.plot.plot_vcirc(sersic_profs, r=array([0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5.]), rlim=None, rlog=False, ylog=False, fileout=None, ax=None)[source]

Function to show circular velocity profile(s) for the Sersic mass distribution(s).

Parameters:

  • sersic_profs (array_like or DeprojSersicModel instance or Sersic profile table dictionary.) – Distributions to plot. Can be a list of DeprojSersicModel instances, or a list of Sersic profile table dictionaries, or a single instance of either.

  • r (array_like, optional) – Radii over which to show profile. Ignored if sersic_profs contains tables, in favor of the table radii r. Default: np.arange(0., 6., 1.)

  • rlim (array_like or None, optional) – If set, spefcify r plot bounds. Default: None (default bounds)

  • rlog (bool, optional) – Option to plot log of radius instead of linear. Default: False

  • ylog (bool, optional) – Option to plot log of profile instead of linear. Default: False

  • fileout (str or None, optional) – Filename for saving file. If set to None, figure is returned to display. Default: None

  • ax (matplotlib Axes instance or None, optional) – Target plot axis. If not set, assumes only this panel is to be plot and displayed, and a new axis is created. Default: None
