Exact solutions for the spatial de Vaucouleurs and Sersic laws and related quantities

Abstract

Using the Mathematica package, we find exact analytical expressions for the so-called de-projected De Vaucouleurs and Sersic laws as well as for related spatial (3D) quantities, such the mass, gravitational potential, the total energy and the central velocity dispersion, generally involved in astronomical calculations expressed in terms of the Meijer G functions.
