19. This shift, which arises from the fact that the TF approximation does not include the outer tail of the density at the classical turning point, has to be considered in comparing theory and experiment, since most of the experimental data, as those in [1], are extracted by fitting the density distribution with a TF parabola. For this reason, in Fig. 7 we renormalize the initial aspect ratio given by the GP equation to the TF value for the same condensate. This normalization, however, does not affect the main conclusions of our analysis.
