Simultaneous PSF Matching via Dual Kernel Optimization

Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter Van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham +6

Standard point spread function (PSF) matching algorithms consider one image as the reference and aim to find a convolution kernel such that, when applied to the reference image, th…

Numerous bow shocks in the outer Helix Nebula

Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, William P. Bowman +5

Near the end of their lives, low- and intermediate-mass stars expel metal-enriched material in winds and outflows, ultimately producing planetary nebulae (PNe). The ejected materia…

dfcosmic: A Python package for cosmic ray removal

Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter van Dokkum, Steven R. Janssens +5

Astronomical images often show sharp features that are caused by cosmic ray (CR) hits, hot pixels, or non-Gaussian noise. L.A.Cosmic (van Dokkum 2001) is a widely used edge detecti…

dfreproject: A Python package for astronomical reprojection

Carter Lee Rhea, Pieter Van Dokkum, Steven R. Janssens +5

Deep astronomical images are often constructed by digitially stacking many individual sub-exposures. Each sub-exposure is expected to show small differences in the positions of sta…

Fuzzy Galaxies or Cirrus? Decomposition of Galactic Cirrus in Deep Wide-Field Images

Qing Liu, Roberto Abraham, Peter G. Martin +12

Diffuse Galactic cirrus, or Diffuse Galactic Light (DGL), can be a prominent component in the background of deep wide-field imaging surveys. The DGL provides unique insights into t…
