More mass models #54

Closed gvernard closed 6 months ago

gvernard commented 11 months ago

We should try and add more mass models, e.g. the ones that appear in Nightingale et al. (2022) - "Scanning for DM subhalos..."

Yes that would be useful. In order not to re-implement a lot of profiles already existing and well-tested in other lensing codes (other than the standard ones than power-law and external shear, Sérsic, etc.), we should use a "backend" lensing code depending on the mass profile needed. This is what is done for the shapelets light profile in the API, which uses lenstronomy in the background.

I am not familiar with the PyAutoLens, so I don't know how easy it is to call PyAutoLens functions from the coolest API interface.

@gvernard I am closing this issue as it is not very specific, and mass models will anyway eventually be added. But feel free to re-open it if needed.
