Power-law index | Exact | 0.5 | |

Shear | ϕext [°] | Position angle | Flat | [0, 360] |
Notes. The position angles ϕm, ϕm,sat, and ϕext are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis (east of north). In case of the centroid coordinates, the modeling code starts with a Gaussian prior centered on the starting value obtained from the user input, which is removed after lens light modeling. The power-law index was fixed to 0.5 (isothermal) in the beginning and was changed to a flat prior during arc light modeling and SSB reconstruction.
