Model and constrain the 3D shapes of galaxies.
This is a project to model the intrinsic (non-lensed) shapes of galaxies. The goal is to build physical 3D models that can be constrained with a variety of observations of projected 2D shape information.
This project has a variety of dependenceies used in models and analysis. These are listed below:
