ScopeSim's Instrument reference database

This repository contains the data files needed by ScopeSim to create a model of any given optical train.

The data is split in the following way:

• Primary observing packages

  e.g. Instruments

  Primary packages are complete packages which can be used by scopesim to simulate the readout files from a full optical system (i.e. atmosphere + telescope + relay optics + instrument + detector)

  These packages contain all information regarding the internal working of the instrument, such as optics, detectors, properties (e.g. temperature), etc

• Support packages

  e.g: Telescopes / Observing sites / Relay optics

  These packages only contain information pertaining to the effects generated by the specific set of optics contained within the optical subsystem. These packages are used to support the Primary packages, and can be shared between multiple primary instrument package.

  For example, the ELT package cannot be used to generate images on its own, however it is need by both the MICADO and METIS instument packages.

• PSFs

  Currently PSFs are kept separately, simply due to their size

Packages kept here

• ELT
• MAORY
• MICADO
• METIS (under construction)
