Test performed for several normal galaxies in the fields of three AGNs of our WFPC2 sub-sample to investigate the impact of the PSF undersampling. The table shows the results of fitting with galfit the host galaxies using (a) the HLA image, (b) the original raw unrotated image, and (c) this image smoothed to fulfill Nyquist sampling. Column (1): total magnitude Mag of the galfit model. Columns (2) and (3): Mag and light fraction of the point source. Columns (4) to (7): Mag, LF, effective radius re, in kpc and index n of first Sérsic component . Columns (8) to (11): same for second Sérsic component. Column (12): galaxy classification following the criteria in Section 3.2.4. The classification is consistent using (a), (b), and (c) for all objects.
