ExoSim 2 is the next generation of the Exoplanet Observation Simulator (ExoSim)
Project description
ExoSim 2.0
Introduction
ExoSim 2 is the next generation of the Exoplanet Observation Simulator ExoSim tailored for spectro-photometric observations of transiting exoplanets from space, ground, and sub-orbital platforms. This software is a complete rewrite implemented in Python 3, embracing object-oriented design principles, which allow users to replace each component with their functions when required.
