Multi-wavelength study of extended astronomical objects requires combining images from instruments with differing point spread functions (PSFs). We describe the construction of convolution kernels that allow one to generate (multi-wavelength) images with a common PSF, thus preserving the colors of the astronomical sources. We generate convolution kernels for the cameras of the Spitzer Space Telescope, Herschel Space Observatory, Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), ground-based optical telescopes (Moffat functions and sum of Gaussians), and Gaussian PSFs. These kernels allow the study of the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of extended objects, preserving the characteristic SED in each pixel. The convolution kernels and the IDL packages used to construct and use them are made publicly available.

  1. Unraveling the Imprints of Fluctuation-dynamo on the Intracluster Medium with the SKA

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    MHD simulations indicate that SKA-Mid Band 5a can detect filamentary polarized emission from ICM magnetic fields at high resolution and sensitivity, allowing inference of turbulence driving scales.

  2. Dust-Embedded Star Formation: Bridging Magellanic Cloud Studies of Massive Young Stellar Objects to Nearby Spiral Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    JWST color-magnitude criteria identify 467 dusty young objects in M33, NGC300, NGC7793 and NGC5068, with stable selection but up to 50% incompleteness at 5 Mpc and a practical limit of ~3 Mpc for individual MYSO studies.
