Scientific paper

Techniques are described which produce two-dimensional surface photometry of galaxies using parametric models fitted to the luminosity distributions. The models may include bulge, disk, point-source, and bar components and the convolution with the point-spread function is part of the modeling process. This method is particularly effective where the galaxy sizes are small compared to the point-spread function and where signal-to-noise ratio is moderate. The procedure is versatile in that it can accommodate complex models and observations from an arbitrary combination of space-based and ground-based instruments in multiple passbands. The method has produced important results on cluster and field galaxies at high redshift and is being used to study the host galaxies of AGNs. This paper illustrates the capabilities of the method.
