ExoSim: the Exoplanet Observation Simulator

Understand

A new generation of exoplanet research beckons and with it the need for simulation tools that accurately predict signal and noise in transit spectroscopy observations.

• We developed ExoSim: an end-to-end simulator that models noise and systematics in a dynamical simulation.
• ExoSim improves on previous simulators in the complexity of its simulation, versatility of use and its ability to be generically applied to different instruments.
• It performs a dynamical simulation that can capture temporal effects, such as correlated noise and systematics on the light curve.
