Distributions of the light profile parameters from GALFIT fits for AGNs and inactive control galaxies. The three rows of panels show histograms in Sérsic index (n), ellipse axis ratio (q) and physical semi-major axis radius (R_e) from top to bottom respectively. Panels left to right span four distinct bins in redshift. Samples from both GOODS fields are combined. 1000 draws of a mass-matched control sample are analyzed to determine the 1σ/2σ scatter in the distributions of the parameters for inactive galaxies, shown as dark/light grey zones in the histograms. Red open histograms show the parameter distributions for the AGNs.
