Measuring Scaling Relations: Fitting Technique Matters

Scaling relationships, both integrated and spatially resolved, arise owing to the physical processes that govern galaxy evolution and are frequently measured in both observed and simulated data. However, the accuracy and comparability of these measurements are hindered by various differences between...
