NAME: nicmodel PURPOSE: (one line) Generate synthetic PSF images for the HST NICMOS Camera DESCRIPTION: A generated PSF is added to the output array. If the array is not defined, it is created with dimensions 256 by 256. Successive calls will add objects (PSF's) to the array. CATEGORY: CCD data processing CALLING SEQUENCE: nicmodel, camera, xsrc, ysrc, inten, filter, bmvnum, back, image INPUTS: camera : Camera number (1, 2, or 3) xsrc, ysrc : Position of the PSF in the output array. inten : Intensity of PSF relative to TinyTim output PSF filter : Filter name in the form Fxxx(W,LP,M,N). bmvnum : B-V list value (TinyTim V6.2 values): BMVNUM TYPE B-V 1 O5 -0.34 2 O8F -0.32 3 O6 -0.31 4 B1V -0.27 5 B3V -0.21 6 B6V -0.12 7 A0V -0.04 8 A5V 0.12 9 F6V 0.37 10 F8V 0.48 11 G2V 0.56 12 G5V 0.66 13 G8V 0.75 14 K4V 0.92 15 K7V 1.28 16 M1.5V 1.45 17 M3V 1.44 back : Background to be added. KEYWORD PARAMETERS: GRID : Grid spacing for psf files. HSTPATH : Alternate path for HST PSF's. JITTER : If set contains the gaussian smearing to apply to the image. This is in units of 1/e half width. If not set, no smearing is applied. This calculation is done in double precision or float according to the type of image. The values passed to the exp function ( e - (((x/j)^2 + y/j)^2/2)) are restricted to a maximum based on the computational precision to avoid floating point underflow. NEW : If set, clears the output array to zeros before building the PSF image(s). OBJRAD : Radius of object in pixels. If not set, assumed to be a point source. If set and radius is greater than 0.5, then PSF is convolved with a circular function of this radius. This models the object as a Lambert disk, crude but useful for barely resolved objects. PSFSIZE : Size of requested PSF, in arcseconds (default: 5). SAMPFACT : Sample factor (default: 6). VERBOSE : If set, prints informational message. Z4 : setting for fourth (focus) Zernicke coefficient. If not set, the default value for the WFPC2 instrument generated by HSTPSF will be used. OUTPUTS: image : The image array into which the PSF is placed. COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: PROCEDURE: The Tiny Tim programs are used, via the procedure HSTPSF, to generate a (usually) 2X (7.5 micron spacing) PSF at the nearest grid location to the requested position. (This grid and default spacing are defined in hstpsf). From the interpolated maximum returned by hstpsf, shift amounts for x and y are computed. The PSF is shifted by these amounts and then compressed to a 1X (15 micron spacing) PSF. Finally, the resulting PSF is multiplied by the intensity parameter and added into the output array. Calls external procedures BADPAR, BOXM, HSTPSF, and SSHIFT2D. MODIFICATION HISTORY: cloned from pc2model.pro 2010/08/25, Written by Marc W.
