Ellipsoid Source with Sersic profile

One of the most popular source models is an ellipsoid with sersic profile. In our implementation, this individual sources are defined by two size parameters, σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2, for the minor and major axes of the ellipsoid.

Additionally some parameters are currently hard-coded.

We define

The pixel value is given as

v=expb((rre)1n1)v = \exp -b\cdot\bigg( \big(\frac{r}{r_e}\big)^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1\bigg)
