-PySM can be run at any nside up to 512. What it does internally I have not investigated. It can also be told to smooth the output maps to a given beam size.
+PySM can be run at any nside up to 512. What it does internally when asked for <512 I have not investigated. I suspect it downgrades the templates with which it is working. It can also be told to smooth the output maps to a given beam size.
 To be realistic we would generate PICO maps with the resolution varying by band as per [[imageroptions]].
