Telescope Optics and Weak Lensing: PSF Patterns due to Low Order Aberrations

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Mike Jarvis, Paul Schechter, Bhuvnesh Jain, , | Summary: In weak lensing investigations, galaxy shapes are deconvolved for the effects of the point spread function (PSF) using stellar images. In this paper we use physical models of the telescope optics to understand the spatial variation of the […]
