The figure reports two of the PSFs used to simulate FGS1 (left) and AIRS-CH0 (right). The PSFs are sampled at the sub-pixel level and reported in decibels normalised to the maximum value in the field. The axes report the grid into pixel and micron units. The reader may note that the FGS1 PSF is highly aberrated and complex, so it is sampled on a grid of the same size as the detector (32 × 32), while the AIRS-CH0 PSF is an Airy function and here is reported on a smaller grid. For details, please refer to the software documentation. -- astro-ph.EP

A Public Dataset Of Ariel Simulated Observations For Developing Exoplanetary Atmosphere Data Reduction Pipelines

by Keith CowingMay 7, 2026May 7, 2026

Detecting and characterising exoplanet atmospheres remains challenging because atmospheric signals can be comparable to residual noise and instrumental/astrophysical systematics. Spectral features span from a few ppm for small planets up […]

Spectra of selected CO2 isotopologues at T = 296 K, scaled by terrestrial isotopic abundances. In addition to 12C16O2, only 13C16O2 and 16O12C18O produce detectable IR features. -- astro-ph.EP
