Welcome to the documentation of the JWST-observation simulator!¶

This tool creates simulated spectra based on PandExo.

Guide¶

Soon to be added…

Installation¶

You will find a installation guide here.

Quickstart¶

Firstly, you have to update the params.yaml in the config directory with the observational parameters. If you have done that, you navigate to the script directory in a termainal and type python run.py. The simulated spectrum will be then saved in the runs_dir directory.

An example for a simulated spectrum:

This code is available in full at https://github.com/sebastian-zieba/JWST-observation-simulator.

Tutorial¶

The Code¶

jwstobsim¶

class jwstobsim.utils.AncillaryData(params)[source]¶

Note

Units for the orbital period and ephemeris can be anything as long as they are consistent (e.g. both in days).
The orbital path is calculated based on t0 for primary transits and t_secondary for secondary eclipses.

jwstobsim.utils.bins_new(x, y, y_err, n_bins)[source]¶

Calculate maximum error for transit light curve calculation.

Parameters:	plot (bool) – If `True`, plots the error in the light curve model as a function of separation of centers.
Returns:	Truncation error (parts per million)
Return type:	float
