iDiffuse

A tool to calculate expected diffuser-assisted photometric precisions.

Features

With iDiffuse you can:

• Calculate the expected photometric precision of the ARCTIC diffuser system on the ARC 3.5m

• iDiffuse is modular and is easily extendable to calculate diffuser-assisted photometric precisions on other telescopes

• iDiffuse can be used to calculate the expected diffuserd PSF size in different telescope systems. You can also calculate the expected PSF sizes using the following online calculator here.
