We provide a detailed exploration of the connection between choice of coaddition schemes and the point-spread function (PSF) of the resulting coadded images. In particular, we investigate what properties of the coaddition algorithm lead to the final coadded image having a well-defined PSF. The key elements of this discussion are as follows:
1. We provide an illustration of how linear coaddition schemes can produce a coadd that lacks a well-defined PSF even for relatively simple scenarios and choices of weight functions.
2. We provide a more formal demonstration of the fact that a linear coadd only has a well-defined PSF in the case that either (a) each input image has the same PSF or (b) the coadd is produced with weights that are independent of the signal.
3. We discuss some reasons that two plausible nonlinear coaddition algorithms (median and clipped-mean) fail to produce a consistent PSF profile for stars.
4. We demonstrate that all nonlinear coaddition procedures fail to produce a well-defined PSF for extended objects.
In the end, we conclude that, for any purpose where a well-defined PSF is desired, one should use a linear coaddition scheme with weights that do not correlate with the signal and are approximately uniform across typical objects of interest.

Validation of PSF Models for HST and Other Space-Based Observations
即将进行的天基观测将需要高质量的点扩散函数模型,用于弱引力透镜测量。生成这些模型的一种方法是使用基于已知望远镜光学器件的波前模型。我们提出了一个经验框架,验证这些模型,以确认它们匹配的实际PSF内的要求,通过比较模型孤立的恒星观察到的光分布。我们将此框架应用于Tiny Tim,用于为哈勃太空望远镜(HST)生成模型PSF的标准工具,针对HST的高级相机在宽视场通道中拍摄的图像测试其模型。我们表明,小蒂姆的模型,在默认配置下,显着不同所观察到的PSF,最显着的是在他们的大小。我们发现,Tiny Tim PSF的质量可以通过拟合完整的Zernike多项式系数来提高,这些系数使光学系统变得模糊,对于大多数用例来说,模型和观察到的PSF之间的差异的实际意义可以忽略不计,从而产生大约4 e-4阶的加性和乘性偏差。我们还表明,大部分的这种改进可以通过使用更新的一组泽尼克系数,我们提供保留。
