Locally, slightly `hotter` and `colder` pixels can be identified in the PSF wings, although, for powers $\gtrsim$-50 dB, this happens only sporadically. These minute numerical differences may be caused by the different treatment of aperture edges (exact for `PAOS`, sub-pixelled for `PROPER`), causing tiny aliasing errors. \label{fig:benchmark-aberrated-2}](hubble_psf_comparison_aberrated.pdf){height=100%}

We find that the differences between the aberrated PSFs are negligible and reach peaks of a few dB only in the far wings. However, even in the central region, there is an increase in `hot` and `cold` pixels compared to the unaberrated case. These discrepancies are probably due to the different treatment of the edges of apertures and vanes in the optical system, causing small aliasing errors when not exact. However, they are so tiny that they can be safely neglected for the HST application.
