BUlge/Disk Decomposition Analysis
Budda is a Fortran code developed to
perform
a detailed structural analysis on galaxy images. It was developed by
Drs.
Ronaldo
Eustáquio de Souza, Dimitri Alexei
Gadotti and Sandra dos Anjos at the Astronomy Department of
the University of São Paulo, Brazil. It is simple to use
and give reliable estimates of the galaxy structural parameters,
which
can be used, for instance, in Fundamental Plane studies. Moreover, it
has
a powerful ability to reveal hidden sub-structures, like inner disks,
secondary
bars and nuclear rings. We make it now available to the community and
we
encourage anyone who wants to get deep insights on one's galaxies to
use
it, but not before reading its main
paper, and
send
us an e-mail. Follow the links below, so you can get what you want!
