rubin-lc-simulator

A lightweight Python package for simulating time-domain light curves with Rubin/LSST cadence and photometric uncertainty. Supports sky-position-dependent cadence extraction via rubin_sim, customizable light curve injection using the LSST Camera's six optical filters (ugrizy), and realistic noise modeling based on Rubin’s five sigma depth.

Installation

The latest version can be installed via pip

    $ pip install rubin-lc-simulator

While the code requires only numpy, it is wrapped around the rubin_sim API.

This must be installed manually, please follow the instructions on their documentation.
