psf_profile

jwst.extract_1d.psf_profile.psf_profile(input_model, trace, wl_array, psf_ref_name, optimize_shifts=True, model_nod_pair=True)

Create a spatial profile from a PSF reference.

Provides PSF-based profiles for point sources in slit-like data containing one positive trace and, optionally, one negative trace resulting from nod subtraction. The location of the positive trace should be provided in the trace input parameter; the negative trace location will be guessed from the input metadata. If a negative trace is modeled, it is recommended that optimize_shifts also be set to True, to improve the initial guess for the trace location.

Parameters:

input_modeldata model

This can be either the input science file or one SlitModel out of a list of slits.

tracendarray or None

Array of source cross-dispersion position values, one for each dispersion element in the input model data. If None, the source is assumed to be at the center of the slit.

wl_arrayndarray

Array of wavelength values, matching the input model data shape, for each pixel in the array.

psf_ref_namestr

PSF reference filename.

optimize_shiftsbool, optional

If True, the spatial location of the trace will be optimized by minimizing the residuals in a scene model compared to the data in the first integration of input_model.

model_nod_pairbool, optional

If True, and if background subtraction has taken place, a negative PSF will be modeled at the mirrored spatial location of the positive trace.

Returns:

profilendarray

Spatial profile matching the input data.

lower_limitint

Lower limit of the aperture in the cross-dispersion direction. For PSF profiles, this is always set to the lower edge of the bounding box, since the full array may have non-zero weight.

upper_limitint

Upper limit of the aperture in the cross-dispersion direction. For PSF profiles, this is always set to the upper edge of the bounding box, since the full array may have non-zero weight.
