... Tiny Tim has been used for generating Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) point-spread functions (PSFs) for deconvolution, algorithm testing, proposal planning, and optical studies. ... Tiny Tim is a stand-alone program for simulating HST PSFs as viewed with the on-board imaging cameras (WF/PC-1, WFPC2, FOC, COSTAR/FOC). ... The measured aberrations for FOC f/96, WF/PC-1 PC6, WFPC2, and COSTAR/FOC are used by Tiny Tim . ... Figure: FOC f/96 observed and Tiny Tim model PSFs (pre-COSTAR) at 253 nm. ...
