Deep Herschel PACS point spread functions

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The knowledge of the point spread function (PSF) of imaging instruments represents a fundamental requirement for astronomical observations.

Description

The Herschel PACS PSFs delivered by the instrument control centre are obtained from observations of the Vesta asteroid, providing a characterisation of the central part therefore excluding fainter features. However, inumany cases information on both the core and the wings of the PSFs is needed.

With this aim, we combine Vesta and Mars dedicated observations and obtain PACS PSFs with an unprecedented dynamic range (~10^6^), at slow and fast scan speeds and for the three photometric bands.
