## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the source code of the ESBO-ETC, a highly modular exposure time calculator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESBO-ETC aims on modelling the physical aspect of light coming from a target through optical components
|
|
|
|
(e.g. atmosphere, mirrors, lenses, ...) on the detector. The set up of this so called optical pipeline can be
|
|
|
|
individually defined using a configuration file. Additionally, the thermal emission of optical components, the
|
|
|
|
obstruction of components as well as different PSFs including pointing jitter can be considered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, ESBO-ETC allows the computation of either the necessary exposure time for a desired SNR, the SNR for a given
|
|
|
|
exposure time or, in case of a BlackBodyTarget, the sensitivity as the minimum apparent magnitude for a given exposure
|
|
|
|
time and SNR. All computations support a batch-mode, allowing to compute multiple scenarios at once.
