Results of 2D surface brightness profile fitting. We show 2″ × 2″ cutouts in F200W and F444W around CAPERS-LRD-z9 in the left column. Our best-fit point-source models in each band are shown in the middle column, while the residuals (data-model) are shown in the rightmost column. CAPERS-LRD-z9 is unresolved in all bands, with ﹩{r}_{h}\lt 0\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }04﹩ and ﹩0\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }08﹩ in F200W and F444W, respectively, corresponding to respective physical sizes of ≲175 pc and ≲350 pc.
