-### Features
-ESBO-ETC offers many different optical components and features which will be explained in the following.
-
-#### Targets
-``
-
-Currently ESBO-ETC supports the following two different types of targets. A configuration can contain only one target
-which has to be contained in the container ``. Each target consists of the basic tag
-`` and possible other target-type specific attributes.
-* **`type`:** The type of the target. Currently, only `BlackBodyTarget` and `FileTarget` are supported.
-* **`size`:** The size of the target which can be either `point` or `extended`. In case of a point-source, a PSF will be
-used to determine the irradiance of each pixel. In case of a extended source, a uniform PSF is assumed, ignoring the
-tags ``, ``, and some instrument specific tags.

-#### Other Features
-##### Reading spectral quantities from files
-The format of a file has to be either structured text (e.g. CSV) or astropy ECSV and will be automatically detected.
-In case of structured text, the units of the columns have to be defined in the column header within square brackets
-(e.g. "wavelength [nm]"). The file must contain two columns with units: wavelength and the spectral quantity:
