Mitigating Satellite Trails: a Study of Residual Light after Masking

Imran Hasan, J. Anthony Tyson, Clare Saunders +1

Using Hyper Suprime Camera data (a precursor of what is to come with Rubin Observatory) we assess trail masking mitigation strategies for satellite contamination. We examine HSC da…

A Study of the Point Spread Function in SDSS Images

Bo Xin, Željko Ivezić, Robert H. Lupton +5

We use SDSS imaging data in passbands to study the shape of the point spread function (PSF) profile and the variation of its width with wavelength and time. We find that th…
