... This paper describes the capabilities of GIM2D, an IRAF package for the quantitative morphology analysis of distant galaxies. GIM2D automatically decomposes all the objects on an input image as the sum of a S?rsic profile and an exponential profile. ... GIM2D (Galaxy IMage 2D) is an IRAF package written to perform detailed bulge/disk decompositions of low signal-to-noise images of distant galaxies. ... The segmentation image is used by GIM2D to deblend galaxy images. ... Create a residual image. ...
