super basic elliptical galaxy function #2

Closed astronomyk closed 2 years ago

astronomyk commented 4 years ago

Basic description

A function which creates an image following an sersic N=4 [or varying?] profile for a given distance
A set spectrum with a low velocity dispersion can be associated with it

Settable parameters

Dimensions (semi-major, semi-minor axis), ellipticity, angle
Velocity dispersion - this should alter the associated spectum (i.e. with a LSF)
Total Flux - in mags, or Jansky, or erg/s, or surface brightness
pixel_scale [arcsec]

Should return a scopesim.Source object with

a single ImageHDU in the .fields list
a single SourceSpectrum in the .spectra list

OK. Let's do a test of this as a particular case.
