Handling of Sersic profile normalization #183

Open gmzsebastian opened 5 months ago

gmzsebastian commented 5 months ago

It makes more sense to do the reverse operation. We should remove sersic_lum from here and place it in oldSersicProfile instead. That way the default will be such that the input magnitude of an extended source will be normalized to infinity.
