6 Sep 2016 | | Abstract: | MICADO will be the first-light wide-field imager for the European Extremely
Large Telescope (E-ELT) and will provide difiraction limited imaging (7mas at
1.2mm) over a ~53 arcsecond field of view. In order to support various
consortium activities we have developed a first version of SimCADO: an
instrument simulator for MICADO. SimCADO uses the results of the detailed
simulation efforts conducted for each of the separate consortium-internal work
packages in order to generate a model of the optical path from source to
detector readout. SimCADO is thus a tool to provide scientific context to both
the science and instrument development teams who are ultimately responsible for
the final design and future capabilities of the MICADO instrument. Here we
present an overview of the inner workings of SimCADO and outline our plan for
its further development. | | Source: | arXiv, 1609.1480 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
