Time

11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT

Description

In coordination with the JWST Early Release Science team for high contrast observations of exoplanets and exoplanetary systems, we are providing a 2-hour presentation and live demonstration of JWST coronagraphic data reduction and analysis using the open-source spaceKLIP Python package. This JWebbinar draws heavily from our experience of working with true on-sky data, and covers:

  • Converting raw JWST data cubes to calibrated images
  • Subtraction of the residual stellar PSF
  • Calculating measurements of contrast performance
  • Companion PSF Fitting
  • JWST-specific caveats to all of the above

NOTE: This webinar consists of presentations and does not include work on the science platform.
