The SersicGeometry class is a subclass of the SpheGeometry class, and describes spherically symmetric stellar geometries characterized by the density distribution
\[ \rho(r) = \rho_0\, {\cal{S}}_n \left(\frac{r}{r_{\text{eff}}}\right), \]
with \({\cal{S}}_n(s)\) the Sersic function of order \(n\) (see SersicFunction). It is defined in such a way that the projected surface brightness profile has the form
\[ I(r_p) = I_0 \exp \left[ -b_n\left( \frac{r_p}{r_{\text{eff}}} \right)^{1/n} \right]. \]
Two parameters characterize a SersicGeometry class object: the Sersic index \(n\) and the effective radius \(r_{\text{eff}}\). Internally, the SersicGeometry class has a SersicFunction object as one of its data members. See Sersic (1963) and Ciotti & Bertin (1999, A&A 352, 447–451).

This function returns the density \(\rho(r)\) at a radius \(r\). It just implements the analytical formula.
Implements SpheGeometry.

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property effectiveRadius : "the effective radius" .
This property represents a physical quantity of type "length" .
The minimum value for this property is "]0" .

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property index : "the Sérsic index n" .
The minimum value for this property is "]0.5" .
The maximum value for this property is "10]" .
The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "1" .

This function returns the radius of a random position drawn from the Sersic density distribution. This is accomplished by generating a uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\), and solving the equation
\[ {\cal{X}} = M(r) = 4\pi \int_0^r \rho(r')\, r'{}^2\, {\text{d}}r' \]
for \(r\). For the Sersic model, we use the SersicFunction::inversemass() function to solve this equation.
Implements SpheGeometry.

This function creates a SersicFunction class object. The central density \(\rho_0\) is set by the normalization condition that the total mass is equal to one. Since the Sersic function satisfies the normalization
\[ 4\pi \int_0^\infty {\cal{S}}_n(s)\, s^2\, {\text{d}}s = 1, \]
we easily find
\[ \rho_0 = \frac{1}{r_{\text{eff}}^3} \]
This function also caches the value of the dimensionless constant \(b_n\) that appears in the definition of the Sersic profile. A suitable approximation is
\[ b_n = 2n -\frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{405n} + \frac{46}{25515n^2} + \frac{131}{1148175n^3}. \]

This function returns the radial surface density, i.e. the integration of the density along a line starting at the centre of the coordinate system,
\[ \Sigma_r = \int_0^\infty \rho(r)\,{\text{d}}r. \]
For the Sersic geometry, one finds
\[ \Sigma_r = \frac{1}{r_{\text{eff}}^2}\, \frac{b_n^{2n}}{ 2\pi\, \Gamma(2n+1)}. \]
Implements SpheGeometry.
