Asterism Selection for MAVIS instrument

MASTSEL

This library was developed with 2 goals: support the Asterism Selection for MAVIS instrument (https://mavis-ao.org/) and managing the computation of the jitter (i.e. tip/tilt) error in Adaptive Optics simulations done in the Fourier domain. It is used by TIPTOP (https://github.com/astro-tiptop/TIPTOP).

The main features are located in:

• mastsel/mavisLO.py class that computes the jitter ellipses that can be

• convolved with High Orders (HO, i.e. aberrations of higher spatial

• frequencies than tip/tilt) Point Spread Functions (PSF) to get the PSFs that

• consider both the effect of HO and Low Orders (LO, i.e. tip/tilt).

• mastsel/mavisPsf.py that contains a set of methods and classes to compute

• short and long exposure PSF from Power Spectral Densities (PSD), Strehl

• Ratios, radial profiles, encircled energies (and other quantities) from PSF,

• to convolve kernels with PSFs, …
