PSF information is central to extract science information with adaptive optics observations. However, spatial and temporal variations in the PSF have been a major obstacle in obtaining accurate PSFs. In particular, anisoplanatism is a dominant source of PSF variation for observations of the Galactic center with Keck, using laser-guide star adaptative optics. The Galactic Center Group at UCLA has developed algorithms to predict PSF variability for Keck AO images (Off-axis PSF reconstruction), creating a new software package (AIROPA). For OSIRIS integral field spectrograph the small field of view prevents from having a good estimate of the PSF. AIROPA allows to use a parallel imager to do so, correcting for the imager’s anisoplanatism and for instrumental aberrations. Here, we present preliminary results of the application of this post-processing tool to OSIRIS datasets in the Galactic Center.
