Data Set Overview
=================
This data set contains a clear-filtered High Resolution Visible CCD
(HRIV) point spread function (PSF) for exoplanet transit targets
GJ 436, HAT-P-4, HAT-P-7, TrES-2, TrES-3, XO-2, and XO-3 as well as
PSFs for the HRIV PSF for stellar calibrator targets for the EPOXI
mission. The PSFs were produced by applying the drizzle method
described by Fruchter and Hook, 2002, [FRUCHTER&HOOK2002] to sets of
HRIV images of the targets acquired during 2008. A PSF for transit
target WASP-3 was not produced due to a crowded star field.
The EPOXI mission observes the transits of exoplanets, Earth and Mars,
and a comet nucleus using the HRIV CCD on board the Deep Impact flyby
spacecraft (DIF). However the 0.3-m f/35 High Resolution telescope is
permanently defocused by 0.6 cm. Consequently the point spread function
for the HRIV instrument covers approximately nine pixels at full-width
half-max and is characterized by a patch with three-fold symmetry (six
points) due to the three-point support structures of the primary and
secondary mirrors. The resulting PSF is also strongly dependent on
color, varying in shape and size with respect the HRIV filter being
used and the color of the target. Therefore all resolved HRIV images
analyzed for the mission should be deconvolved with one of the
instrument PSFs provided in the data sets. The HRIV PSFs in this data
set were also used to optimize exoplanet transit analysis for the EPOXI
mission.
The PSFs are provided as 2-dimensional FITS images by target and filter
when applicable. The 'Development and Utilization of the HRIV Point
Spread Function for the EPOXI Mission' report included in this data set
describes how the PSFs for the stellar calibrators and exoplanet transit
targets were constructed for and utilized by the EPOXI team. (Or see
Barry, et al., 2010 [BARRYETAL2010].)
The following PDS data sets, available online at http://pds.nasa.gov,
are related to this one and may be useful for research:
DIF-X-HRIV-3-EPOXI-EXOPLANETS-V1.0
- Radiance calibrated HRIV extrasolar planet transit observations
GJ 436, HAT-P-4, HAT-P-7, TRES-2, TRES-3, WASP-3, XO-2, and
XO-2 acquired during 2008; The EPOCh team used subsets of the
reversibly calibrated images (known as 'RADREV') in this data set
to construct PSFs.
DIF-CAL-HRIV-2-EPOXI-CALIBRATIONS-V1.0
- Raw in-flight HRIV calibrations including the stellar
calibrators 16 Cyg A, Achernar, Beta Hyi, Canopus, HD 60753,
HD 79447, and Vega; The EPOCh team used reversibly calibrated
subsets of these raw data to construct PSFs.
DIF-X-HRIV-5-EPOXI-EXOPLANETS-PHOT-V1.0
- HRIV photometry (light curves) of the transiting planet
systems observed by EPOXI.
DI-C-HRII/HRIV/MRI/ITS-6-DOC-SET-V3.0
- Deep Impact and EPOXI documentation set provides overviews
of the EPOXI mission.

Confidence Level Overview
=========================
The EPOXI/EPOCh team applied the PSF data files in this data set
to their analysis of exoplanet transit targets and resulting
photometry.
Review
======
This data set was peer reviewed at the PDS Small Bodies Node (SBN)
and certified for archiving on 29 September 2010 pending the
resolution of liens. Liens were resolved in December 2010. This
data set is archived at SBN and and the Multi-Mission Archive at
STScI (MAST).
Data Coverage and Quality
=========================
The EPOXI/EPOCh team did not construct a PSF for transit target WASP-3
due to a crowded star field. The EPOXI team recommends using one of
the PSFs for a calibrator star when working with WASP-3 images.
Limitations
===========
HRI Telescope Focus
-------------------
Images of stars acquired early during the Deep Impact mission in
2005 indicated the HRI telescope was out of focus. In-flight
bakeouts during late February and early March 2005 reduced the
defocus from about 1.0 cm to about 0.6 cm, resulting in a decrease
in the width of stars from about 12 pixels to 9 pixels. For more
details, please see the Deep Impact instrument calibration paper by
Klaasen, et al. (2008) [KLAASENETAL2006] and the Deep Impact image
restoration paper by Lindler, et al. (2007) [LINDLERETAL2007].

CCD (HRIV) point spread function (PSF) for exoplanet transit
targets GJ 436, HAT-P-4, HAT-P-7, TrES-2, TrES-3, XO-2, and XO-3
and at least one filtered HRIV PSF for stellar calibrator targets
for the EPOXI mission. The PSFs were produced by applying a
drizzle method to sets of HRIV images of the targets acquired
during 2008. A PSF for transit target WASP-3 was not produced due
to a crowded star field.
