AIROPA IV: Validating point spread function reconstruction on various science cases

Lu, Jessica R.; Fitzgerald, Michael P.; Do, Tuan +7 more

We present an analysis of six independent on-sky datasets taken with the Keck-II/NIRC2 instrument. Using the off-axis point spread function (PSF) reconstruction software AIROPA, we extract stellar astrometry, photometry, and other fitting metrics to characterize the performance of this package. We test the effectiveness of AIROPA to reconstruct th…
