HSC PSFs truncated -> create ringing in LowResObservation

Open pmelchior opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The multi-resolution tutorial uses a HSC PSF with 31 pixels. This is apparently too small and creates ringing in the oversampled PSF (which defines the diff kernel):

plt.imshow(obs_hsc._diff_kernels.image[4], vmax=1e-6)

yields download Other HSC bands are similar. This should affect the results of the resampling+convolution operation.

This issue addresses two aspects:

  • Confirm whether the ringing is detrimental for the convergence or accuracy of multi-observation fitting
  • If so, create code to check for this problem before we run the fitter

HSC PSFs are usually 41x41 or 43x43 pixels. So you should be able to test with the full HSC PSF to see if truncation is the issue.
