Example elma outputs for two barred galaxies in the GOODS-South field. Upper row: strong barred galaxy at z = 0.42 (R.A. = 03:32:39.27, decl. = −27:45:32.97). Lower row: barred galaxy at z = 0.62 (R.A. = 03:32:41.42, decl. = −27:46:51.72). Left: input RGB image. Middle: all fitted isophotes from the iterative ellipse-fitting procedure. Right: bar-dominated region enclosed by the best-fitting isophote associated with the local maximum in ellipticity. The measured bar extent is converted into a physical length using WCS information and galaxy redshift.
