RENUC: Reconstruct Galaxies from Multiple-Galaxy Photometry

Form: RENUC source [BOX=n] [EX=(n1,n2,...)] [LIM=(n1,n2,...] [INC=(n1,n2,...)] [CENTER=(n1,n2,...)]
source
The image buffer which will hold the reconstruction
BOX=
Only reconstruct within BOX n.
EX=
Do not reconstruct galaxies n1, n2, etc.
INC=
Only reconstruct galaxies n1, n2, etc.
LIM=
Do not use the last n isophotes from galaxies 1, 2, etc.
CENTER=
Reconstruct using the individual isophote centers for galaxies n1, n2, etc.

RENUC reconstructs a model of a multiple galaxy system or any combination of its component galaxies from the multiple galaxy system photometry computed by the SNUC command.

The EX keyword is used to select those galaxies NOT to be reconstructed. Similarly, the INC keyword can be used to select only those galaxy models to be included in the reconstruction.

If the quality of the outer isophote solutions for any galaxy is poor, they can be ignored by the reconstruction algorithm with the LIM keyword.

CENTER tells the routine to use any isophote dependent centers for the reconstruction that may have been measured with the CENTER option in the SNUC command (at this time, this option does not work well).

RENUC 1
Reconstruct the entire system fitted by SNUC (into image 1).

RENUC 1 INC=(1)

or RENUC 1 EX=(2,3,4)
Only reconstruct galaxy 1 (four galaxies were fitted);

RENUC 1 LIM=(0,2)
Do not use the last isophote of galaxy 2.
