A Fake Bar

Here is an examples of a script to make a fake composite disk galaxy with bulge, disk, halo, spiral arms and some noise. The shell script has reasonable defaults for everything, except no noise. The accompanying figure was produced using version 0.1 of the script

    fakebar.csh an=1 hn=1

This picture actually has a bulge, bar, disk and of course spiral arms. The disk is at INC=60 and PA=40, see if you can guess what PA the bar is?

You can download the latest fakebar.csh from here, as well as the original fakebar.fits file that was produced with it. It mostly uses the program ccdgen in a pipe.
