Stellar systems following the $R^{1/m}$ luminosity law. III. Photometric, intrinsic, and dynamical properties for all Sérsic indices

Maarten Baes, Luca Ciotti

The Sérsic or $R^{1/m}$ model has become the de facto standard model to describe the surface brightness profiles of early-type galaxies and the bulges of spiral galaxies. The photo…
