Investigate sersic rendering issues #85

Closed mcclearyj closed 2 years ago

mcclearyj commented 2 years ago

The simple InclinedSersic rendering employed in mock_superBIT_data.py is different from what's done in galsim for parametric galaxies built from a COSMOS catalog: https://galsim-developers.github.io/GalSim/_build/html/_modules/galsim/scene.html#COSMOSCatalog

Parametric galaxies are rendered as Sersic galaxies that are then sheared by the q, beta parameters in the COSMOS catalog. We should investigate rendering galaxies in this fashion.

I believe this issue can be closed now @mcclearyj

Great.
