About This Article

Updated 7/15/2024: Registration is no longer open, but you can access materials and recordings on the JWebbinars page a week or two after the event.

Registration is now open for JWebbinar 34, "Introduction to WebbPSF: Modeling the Inflight PSF for JWST," to be held on Tuesday, July 16th from 10 am to 12 pm (US Eastern Time). 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.

Visit the JWebbinar webpage for information on the entire series of data analysis webinars.
