Bulge-disk Decomposition

Bulge-Disk Decomposition is a quantitative image analysis method in galaxy morphology that separates a galaxy’s light distribution into structurally distinct components—specifically a centrally concentrated bulge and an extended disk—by fitting two-dimensional surface brightness profiles to distinguish their photometric and structural properties.
