use more of the precomputed PSFs from Lance - spatial, wavelength interpolation #44

Closed rmandelb closed 2 months ago

rmandelb commented 3 months ago

PSF code should be updated in place with spatial variation (and potentially caching); consider also downsampling in wavelength direction and other space-saving measures, as we will have to consider how to distribute the precomputed images

Discussion about spatial variation: start simple, considering these options:

  1. No interpolation, just assign the PSF based on the CCD quadrant (i.e. all points in the quadrant get the same PSF). There will be small discontinuities but given our stated purpose of the sims, this is probably OK.
  2. Interpolate between quadrant centers, use nearest point without interpolation outside of that.
  3. Lie to it that the PSFs at quadrant centers are at the CCD corners, then use the Roman interpolation code.

Proposal given other simplifications in the PSF is to do (1). Once implemented, we'll open another issue to remind ourselves of (2) and (3) for later (but they are not needed soon).
