Examples

“The Sersic model generally provides an accurate description of the global radial light profile of galaxies but it fails to reproduce the inner regions […]”

“The most extensive analysis of the light profile of a star was carried out by King [K1], who used photographic techniques to determine the surface brightness at radii of more than 10,000 times the half-width at half peak intensity (HW) of the image – a dynamic range of almost 28 magnitudes (Figure 1.13).”

“A similar system can also be designed in which the far-field light profile, rather than the nearfield light profile, is input into the fly's eye integrator for light uniformization to then provide illumination to the modulator array.”

“Then we calculate the scalare K₀(PAR) from the light profile (reference observations).”

“Photometric lights allow you to attach light profiles created by light manufacturers so that you can simulate specific lights in your scenes.”

“Each male summons forth a female pendant down along its contour, a negative of itself with which it is locked into a kiss: the male "shadow profile" at left is kissing a female "light profile"; the male "light profile" at right, a female "shadow profile."”
