Discrepancy in reported NIRCam coronagraph offsets between SW & LW filters for simultaneous SW+LW data with MASK335R #140

Open kdlawson opened 7 months ago

kdlawson commented 7 months ago

For simultaneous SW+LW NIRCam data with MASK335R, SpaceKLIP is reporting much larger offsets for SW filters than for LW filters (see below, data pulled from MASKOFFS header extensions).

This trend is reproduced for a second program (MASK335R with F200W+F444W) as well.

Assuming the actual coronagraph offsets should be roughly equal between SW and LW simultaneous images, the issue may be with the assumed coronagraph center position for the NRCA2_MASK335R aperture.

(note: I only have SW+LW data with MASK335R, so cannot rule out that this affects other SW+LW configurations)
