PHRINGE

PHRINGE

PHRINGE is a PHotoelectron counts generatoR for nullING intErferometers capable of generating synthetic data for space-based nulling interferometers. It can simulate the observation of an exoplanetary system and generate realistic data in terms of photoelectron counts as a function of wavelength and time, considering both astrophysical and instrumental noise sources.

Documentation

The documentation including installation and usage instructions, examples and a general user documentation can be found on phringe.readthedocs.io.

Features

• Symbolic input of complex amplitude transfer matrix and array positions, ensuring maximum flexibility in architecture modeling
• Symbolic calculation of instrument intensity response
• Noise models for astrophysical noise sources including stellar, local zodi and exozodi leakage
• Noise models for instrumental perturbations including amplitude, phase (OPD) and polarization rotation perturbations
• Export of synthetic data as a FITS file
