An example of the “ghost” sources that appear in images taken after the CSP spacecraft anomaly. The duplicated sources arising from miscalibrated photon events are at a consistent offset within each visit from all sources within the field, but are only visible/significant near bright sources. Note that even the bright edge reflections have ghosts. The offset is along the detector y-direction and so its vector in the sky-projected images is a function of spacecraft roll angle.
