Lots of updates here. I'll try to run through them all:

  • Diameter is now 2.36 m (was 2.37).
  • Exposure time is now 139.8 s (was 140.25).
  • Added information for filters R062 and K213.
  • Thermal backgrounds all changed (cf. https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/WFI_technical.html).
  • The wide filter is now called W146 (was W149).
  • New bandpasses from Roman_effarea_20201130.xlsx same site.
  • Updated sky levels to match the new bandpasses.
  • Updated Zernike aberrations to use same values used by WebbPSF. Specifically, the file webbpsf-data/WFI/wim_zernikes_cycle9.csv.
  • Updated the pupil plane images, also from the WebbPSF repo.
  • Updated WCS information using measured angles given in RST PhaseC (Pre CDR) WIMWSM Zernike and Field Data_20210204_d2.xlsx (available in our devel/roman directory).

Just some minor suggestions about doc changes.

``delta_zp`` will be a positive number that should be added to the GalSim zeropoints to compare
with externally calculated instrumental zeropoints. When using the GalSim zeropoints for
normalization of fluxes, the ``area`` kwarg to drawImage can be used to get the right
normalization (giving it the quantity ``area_eff`` calculated using the lines of code above).

This doc change should be reverted with the reversion of the collecting area change?

gain = 1.0
pixel_scale = 0.11 # arcsec / pixel
diameter = 2.37 # meters
# Effective area now taken into account in the bandpass throughput (units of effective area, m^2) and sky background files.
# To modify these assumptions, remove approximate factor of eff_area = 0.25 * np.pi * diameter**2 * (1. - obscuration**2) in meters^2 and rescale to new values of these parameters.

This is a bit ambiguous now that the 'mean' collecting_area has been taken out again internally. Should clarify that nothing has changed for the user if these are used within galsim, only if someone uses the files directly?

Yep. Good catches on those. I reverted those docs, since they aren't relevant anymore.
