In-flight Point Spread Functions (PSFs)

    

The PSF describes the surface brightness distribution of imaged point sources. There are three significant components: the XRT PSF, the HRI PSF, and a residual blurring attributable to the aspect correction (often discernible as a small ellipsoidal component).
