Development plan / Milestones
for each milestone, the minimum required points to release that version are given; additional goals (best effort basis) are printed in Italics.
0.1 (at METIS science team meeting, 2-4 May 2018)
Simcado with bug fixes to support simulations at 3-20 microns
Configuration files for METIS LM and NQ band imaging
Transmission curves (sky emission / absorption, mirror reflectivity, entrance window, detector QE, dichroic transmission, filter curves) extended and/or adapted for METIS LM and NQ bands
iPython notebooks with example use cases for both LM and NQ band imaging
output fluxes in LM and NQ band imaging verified against Roy’s fluxes document
0.2 (before summer break)
0.3 (dependent on Simcado development)
0.4 (dependent on Simcado development)
... (dependent on Simcado development)
1.0 (dependent on Simcado development and humanpower available at NOVA)
All METIS modes implemented, tested and verified against theoretical expectations and/or actual observations with similar instruments
Example notebooks available and reproducibly executable for all METIS modes
Adapt Simcado for VISIR and verify against actual observations
