PSF Algorithm • We write the: • probability density functionp • jitter-dependent kernelM • noise-dependent covariance matrix - Q • We state and solve the optimization problem (recursive gradient method) EXO PSFs - First CoRoT International Symposium - Paris - Fabio Fialho
Validation – Finding CoRoT-Exo-2b Input 1-pixel images White flux before correction White flux after correction Blue flux before correction Blue flux after correction Estimate ½ pixel PSF EXO PSFs - First CoRoT International Symposium - Paris - Fabio Fialho
Conclusions Robustness improvement • Improved robustness compared to the Asteroseismology channel’s algorithm, allowing its use in the Planet Finder channel. • The modeled PSF provides about 8-times gain of SNR for the white photometry (periods of the worst case of jitter noise).
