Every optical surface & CCD has an ideal location<br />

Perturbations,<br />

Misalignments,<br />

& Tracking Errors<br />

During a particular simulation all surfaces & CCDs can be misaligned by the 6<br />

degrees of freedom; Each optical surface can also have a surface perturbations<br />

place on the surface that represent the deviation from the ideal shape<br />

These represent the perturbations & misalignments induced by the thermal,<br />

vibrational, pressure, gravitational stresses while the telescope is operating with<br />

the full control system as well as fabrication errors<br />

In general, the perturbations & misalignments tend to induce anisotropic PSFs<br />

that are highly correlated across the entire focal plane (because mostly in pupil<br />

plane)<br />

Also have tracking model for perturbations during an exposure<br />
