Create a extended Source object for an elliptical galaxy.

Note

This docstring is from simcado, needs to be updated

Parameters:

r_efffloat: [arcsec]
pixel_scalefloat: [arcsec]
filter_namestr, TransmissionCurve, optional: Default is “Ks”. Values can be either: - the name of a SimCADO filter : see optics.get_filter_set() - or a TransmissionCurve containing a user-defined filter
amplitudefloat: [mag, mag/arcsec2]
spectrumstr, optional: The spectrum to be associated with the galaxy. Values can either be: - the name of a SimCADO SED spectrum : see get_SED_names() - an EmissionCurve with a user defined spectrum

Returns:
