Assessment of the impact of a 10'' HEW PSF on the possibility to investigate star-forming regions and OB associations in the Milky-Way and the Magellanic Clouds under SWG3.2
[en] This Technical Note investigates the impact of a 10'' HEW PSF on the possibility to study crowded star forming regions in the Milky Way and/or OB associations in the Magellanic Clouds. Various techniques are used to estimate the consequences in terms of source detection efficiency, S/N against a diffuse emission and limiting sensitivity.
