HST WFC3 Point Spread Function Modeling

HST WFC3 Point Spread Function Modeling#

Here are brief descriptions of the WFC3 Notebooks for Point Spread Function modeling.

HST Point Spread Function#

This notebook demonstrates how to generate Point Spread Function (PSF) models for WFC3 observations. This includes retrieving empirical models from the WFC3 PSF Website, generating custom models by stacking stars, and retrieving cutouts from the MAST PSF Database. The notebook includes examples of how to generate stellar catalogs, perform PSF fitting and subtraction, and how to utilize different types of PSF models depending on the available data and science goals. While the examples are focused on WFC3, the notebook can also be used with ACS, WFPC2, and other instruments.
