Application of the MCMC algorithm on a disk galaxy generated with the AMR code RAMSES (Teyssier 2002) and “observed” with a seeing of 0.″8 (FWHM). The maximum S/N is ∼3 in the brightest pixel. The top, middle, and bottom rows show the flux map, the velocity map, and the apparent velocity profile Vz(r) across the major axis, respectively. From left to right, the panel columns show the data, the convolved model, the modeled disk (free from the PSF), and the high-S/N, high-resolution reference data (PSF = 0.″15 and S/N = 100). In the bottom panels, the solid red curves correspond to the reference case, the triangles represent the apparent rotation curve, and the dotted lines show the apparent maximum line-of-sight velocity ﹩{V}_{\mathrm{max}}\;\mathrm{sin}i﹩. One sees that the velocity profile from the modeled disk (third column) is in good agreement with the reference data (solid line) at 0.″15 resolution.
