Radial profiles of PSFs constructed for the HSC-SSP Deep/UltraDeep images. Cyan triangles show the r-band PSF profile provided by HSC-SSP PDR3, which captures only the PSF core due to atmospheric turbulence but misses the extended PSF wings. The combined “normal” wide-PSF profiles constructed in this work are shown as red squares for the i band, green squares for the r band, and blue squares for the g band. The combined “ultrabright” r-band wide-PSF profile is shown as violet circles. For comparison, black triangles represent the r-band wide-PSF from W. Wang et al. (2019). See Section 3.1.1 for details.
