-In particular, the 2012 SPIE paper gives a broad overview, the 2014 SPIE paper presents comparisons to instrument
-cryotest data, and the Technical Report document describes in more detail the relevant optical physics, explains design
-decisions and motivation for WebbPSF’s architecture, and presents extensive validation tests demonstrating consistency
-between WebbPSF and other PSF simulation packages used throughout the JWST project.
