 The WFI model is based on the `Cycle 9 instrument reference information <https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/Roman_Reference_Information.html>`_ from the Roman team at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The reported jitter for the Roman observatory is 0.012 arcsec per axis, per `GSFC <https://roman.ipac.caltech.edu/sims/Param_db.html#telescope>`_.

 To work with the WFI model, import and instantiate it just like any of the JWST instruments::
