摘要:

我们提供了一个详细的探索之间的连接选择coaddition方案和点扩散函数(PSF)的coadded图像。特别是,我们调查什么属性的coaddition算法导致最终coadded图像具有定义良好的PSF。本文的主要内容如下:1.我们提供了一个说明如何线性coaddition计划可以产生一个coadd,缺乏一个定义良好的PSF,即使是相对简单的情况和选择的权重函数。2.我们提供了一个更正式的证明,一个线性的coadd只有一个定义良好的PSF的情况下,(a)每个输入图像具有相同的PSF或(b)coadd是与权重是独立的信号。3.我们讨论了一些原因,两个合理的非线性coaddition算法(中位数和剪切平均值)未能产生一致的PSF配置文件的恒星。4.我们证明,所有的非线性coaddition程序无法产生一个定义良好的扩展对象的PSF。最后,我们的结论是,对于任何目的,一个定义良好的PSF是理想的,应该使用一个线性coaddition计划的权重不相关的信号,并在整个典型的感兴趣的对象近似均匀。

英文摘要:

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.
