Documentation for WebbPSF
===============================

WebbPSF is a Python package that computes simulated point spread functions (PSFs) for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Nancy Grace Roman Telescope (formerly WFIRST). WebbPSF transforms models of telescope and instrument optical state into PSFs, taking into account detector pixel scales, rotations, filter profiles, and point source spectra. It is *not* a full optical model of JWST, but rather a tool for transforming optical path difference (OPD) maps, created with some other tool, into the resulting PSFs as observed with JWST's or WFIRST's instruments.

**What this software does:**

* Uses OPD maps precomputed by detailed optical simulations of JWST and the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope (formerly WFIRST), and in the case of JWST
* Uses OPD maps precomputed by detailed optical simulations of JWST and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (formerly WFIRST), and in the case of JWST
based on instrument and telescope flight hardware cryo-vacuum test results.
* For JWST, computes PSF images with requested properties for any of JWST's instruments. Supports imaging, coronagraphy, and most spectrographic modes with all of JWST's instruments. IFUs are yet to come.
* For WFIRST, computes PSFs with the Wide Field Imager, based on recent GSFC optical models, including field- and wavelength-dependent aberrations.
