Project description
rubin_sim
Scheduler, survey strategy analysis, and other simulation tools for Rubin Observatory.
rubin_sim
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)
is anticipated to encompass around 2 million observations spanning a decade,
averaging 800 visits per night. The rubin_sim
package was built to help
understand the predicted performance of the LSST.
The rubin_sim
package contains the following main modules:
phot_utils
- provides synthetic photometry using provided throughput curves based on current predicted performance.skybrightness
incorporates the ESO sky model, modified to match measured sky conditions at the LSST site, including an addition of a model for twilight skybrightness. This is used to generate the pre-calculated skybrightness data used inrubin_scheduler.skybrightness_pre
.moving_objects
provides a way to generate synthetic observations of moving objects, based on how they would appear in pointing databases ("opsims") created byrubin_scheduler
.maf
the Metrics Analysis Framework, enabling efficient and scientifically varied evaluation of the LSST survey strategy and progress by providing a framework to enable these metrics to run in a standardized way on opsim outputs.
