This is an old revision of the document!


from Ralf Siebenmorgen at CM06, May 2018

  • simulating drift scans and compare it with chop/nod
  • when possible please use naming of parameters as in the instrument dictionary of INS
  • we shall have more discussions on artefacts by the system (sky, telescope, instrument) that shall be considered or not in the simulator
  • I appreciate the use of the simulator for testing and verifying the science case performances (at least the major one and one use case per observing mode) also by MST
  • When possible and applicable please benchmark the new against the old (idl) simulator

Other ideas

Future developments by Simcado classes

  • OpticalTrain
    • include time-resolved jitter effects
    • include sub-pixel shifts for spectro-spatial effects for Vortex coronagraphy
    • instrument-internal emission (possibly requiring a different treatment of the global transmission/emission model)
    • List of transmissive elements (e.g. multiple dichroics currently not supported), directly accessible e.g. via a dictionary
    • Implement fixed ADCs (give residuals of the partial atmospheric dispersion correction as static input?)
  • Detector
    • Chopping and nodding (including chop-difference residuals?)
