Enhance sky glow and other sky structure in the ESO model.

3

Currently the sky glow model by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/sims_skybrightness based on the ESO model with twilight addition includes sky glow but it does not have any structure. It is just...

Currently every pixel is treated the same in @craiglagegit's sensor model. Eventually we should figure out a way to also do the calculation by the edge and use those pixels...

In the current version of imSim, we pass a list of objects and a sensor to each core in a multi-processor pool. So each sensor is done with all of...

Add option to write extended truth information.

1

Currently, we write the centroid files, but having the option to also write extended truth information at the pixel level would be quite useful for many simulation based studies, analyses,...

Build a parameterized optical model with Batoid to use for fast simulations.

2

Currently the mapping between pupil coordinates and focal plane coordinates (Stored in `obs_lsstSim`?) is a fit to a grid of points simulated going through the optics with PhoSim. The result...

Add satellites / other sky artifacts

8

Currently, we live in a blissful world without planes, or satellites, or contrails etc.

Work with experts to identify lack of realism in the sky images

1

As a long term goal and as we move into data taking, we would like to make produced images after ISR look as realistic as we can. We should work...

Adding ICL is important for cluster science.

Explore the possibility to store or encode the ability to recreate the PSF for each object

10

During the Weak Lensing meeting today it was mentioned it would be good to know the actual true PSF for each object drawn on the focal plane when we were...

This would allow us to increase realism in galaxy morphology.
