Dorado sensitivity and exposure time calculator

Project description

Dorado sensitivity and exposure time calculator

Dorado is a proposed space mission for ultraviolet follow-up of gravitational wave events. This repository contains a simple sensitivity and exposure time calculator for Dorado.

This package can estimate the signal to noise, exposure time, or limiting magnitude for an astronomical source with a given spectrum using the CCD signal to noise equation. It models the following noise contributions:

  • Zodiacal light
  • Airglow (geocoronal emission)
  • Diffuse Galactic emission
  • Standard CCD noise (shot noise, read noise, dark current)

Installation

To install with Pip:

$ pip install dorado-sensitivity

Examples

For examples, see the Jupyter notebook.
