Example of an ArcEllipse created by PaintArcs using a Sérsic profile. The left panel shows the pure arc, created using r_c = 17′′, r_e = 0.6′′, θ₀ = 40°, n = 1, e₁ = 0.85, e₂ = 0.75, m = 21, and m_zpt = 31.83. The pixel scale of the image is 0.154′′. The middle panel shows the application of a Gaussian convolution (FWHM = 1.1′′) on the pure arc image. The right panel shows the effect of adding Poisson noise to the convolved arc.
