Table 6: Tests of the ISHAPE profile-fitting algorithm. For each combination of input parameters ( V=20/21/22, FWHM =1 pc/2 pc) the output fitted FWHM and $\alpha $ parameters are shown for three initial guesses of $\alpha $ ( $\alpha _0 = 1.0/1.5/2.0$). Numbers in parentheses denote the object-to-object rms deviation around the mean values, excluding the two most deviating points at each extreme.
