Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Point-Spread Function Modeling

M. Jarvis, G. M. Bernstein, A. Amon +79

We introduce a new software package for modeling the point-spread function (PSF) of astronomical images, called Piff (PSFs In the Full FOV), which we apply to the first three years…

Reducing ground-based astrometric errors with Gaia and Gaussian processes

W. F. Fortino, G. M. Bernstein, P. H. Bernardinelli +64

Stochastic field distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence are a fundamental limitation to the astrometric accuracy of ground-based imaging. This distortion field is measurable…
