JWebbinar 34 - Introduction to WebbPSF: Modeling the Inflight PSF for JWST

Software and Data

About Event

Tue 16 Jul 2024

Location

Virtual

Time

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT

Description

In this JWebbinar, we will cover the basics about simulating Webb’s PSF by using the inflight measurements of the optical performance of the telescope via Optical Path Difference files. Then we will introduce different tools and functions that allow the user to setup their simulations directly from the observations, to understand how the optical performance of the telescope might affect PSFs in science data and, finally, to use WebbPSF simulations to perform basic operations in science observations like PSF subtraction.

Registration closes on July 12th.
