Wrapper function to calculate the full set of Sersic profile tables.

Parameters:

  • output_path (str) – Path to directory where the Sersic profile table will be saved. If not set, system variable DEPROJECTED_SERSIC_MODELS_DATADIR must be set. Default: system variable DEPROJECTED_SERSIC_MODELS_DATADIR, if specified.

  • filename_base (str, optional) – Base filename to use, for the default naming convention: <filename_base>_nX.X_invqX.XX.fits. Default: deproj_sersic_model

  • overwrite (bool, optional) – Option to overwrite the FITS file, if a previous version exists. Default: False (will throw an error if the file already exists).

  • f_log (str, optional) – Filename of log file, to save information output while calculation is in progress. Default: None

  • indChunk (int, optional) – Index of chunk to run. Default: None (only one chunk)

  • nChunk (int, optional) – Total number of chunks. Default: None (only one chunk)

  • invqstart (int, optional) – Where to start with invq array. Default: None (start at beginning)

  • cumulative (bool, optional) – Shortcut option to only calculate the next annulus, then add to the previous Menc(r-rdelt). Default: Uses cumulative if n >= 2.
