Excerpt
Weight images are variance maps. For single epoch Warp images, these variance contains the readnoise, Poisson noise, and other noise sources. For Stack Images, the noise is propagated from the individual input warps. These weight images can be used for estimates of the uncertainties in the photometry. We note that the deprojection of the chip images into the warps correlates the pixels, introducing covariance. Therefore the derived uncertainties might underestimate the true noise.
