DOC: Validation 3D ellipticity distribution #470

Open Lucia-Fonseca opened 3 years ago

Lucia-Fonseca commented 3 years ago

Description

Including the validation plot for the 3D ellipticity model (Ryden04) would add extra value to the examples page.

Inputs

We could reproduce the Ellipticity of the Disks of Spiral Galaxies and validate with SDSS data as done by @ntessore here.

Outputs

Histogram: Distribution of axis ratio 𝑞_{am} for exponential galaxies in the SDSS DR1.
