Gnuastro: measuring radial profiles from images
read the original abstract
Radial profiles play a crucial role in the analysis and interpretation of astronomical data, facilitating the extraction of spatial information. However, highly customizable (for different scenarios) measurements over each elliptical annulus can be challenging. In response, we present 'astscript-radial-profile', which is part of Gnuastro from version 0.15 and has an extensive documentation. A convenient feature of this program is its capability to make the measurements with different operators (mean, median, sigma-clipping, and many more) over ellipses, very quickly and directly on the command-line with minimal dependencies. This research note is reproducible with Maneage, on the Git commit 104aad5.

How large can galaxies be? Ultra-deep imaging of IC 1101, the most extended known galaxy
Ultra-deep imaging places the edge of IC 1101's main stellar body at ~260 kpc, a ~520 kpc diameter that is the largest galaxy edge measured to date.
