# ESBO-ETC
|
|
A modular exposure time calculator for the ESBO telescope.
|
|
|
|
## 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.

## Documentation
|
|
The latest version of the documentation is hosted on the [ESBO-DS server](https://esbo-ds.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/esboetcdocs/).
|
|
The full documentation is available as source [here](docs) and can be build using
|
|
[sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/installation.html) by the command
|
|
```bash
|
|
sphinx-build -b html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for the HTML-documentation or
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sphinx-build -M latexpdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for the PDF version. |
