JWPSF v3.0 Main Page
The program jwpsf models Point Spread Functions
for the James Webb Space Telescope. It models monochromatic and
broadband PSFs, optionally incorporating source spectra and filter functions.
Source spectra, representing a range of stellar types, are
included in the package plus a selection of idealized filter functions.
It is relatively simple for the user to supply alternatives.
A description of this software was presented at the 2006 SPIE meeting
on Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation. The paper is available for
download
(PDF, 584KB).
The software is written in Python and will run on most platforms, but requires the installation of Python and associated packages NumPy, Pyfits, and Matplotlib. Instructions (PDF) for installing all components are supplied here, and a copy is included with the software.
If you have any difficulty installing this software or associated packages you may obtain assistance by contacting the helpdesk.
