目标。仪器模拟器对于规划和分析大型天文学调查数据变得越来越有用。在本文中,我们提出了 Herschel-SPIRE 光度计的模拟器。我们描述它使用的模型以及输入和输出数据的形式。 方法。 SPIRE 光度计模拟器是一个软件包,它使用理论模型和飞行模型测试数据,对赫歇尔空间天文台上运行的仪器的输出时间线进行数值模拟。 结果。给出了模拟器的使用类型的描述,以及有关其过去使用的信息。其中包括为准备高红移星系调查和碎片盘调查而进行的示例模拟。这些是作为模拟器能够产生的输出类型的演示而呈现的。
Aims. Instrument simulators are becoming ever more useful for planning and analysing large astronomy survey data. In this paper we present a simulator for the Herschel-SPIRE photometer. We describe the models it uses and the form of the input and output data. Methods. The SPIRE photometer simulator is a software package which uses theoretical models, along with flight model test data, to perform numerical simulations of the output time-lines from the instrument in operation on board the Herschel space observatory. Results. A description of the types of uses of the simulator are given, along with information on its past uses. These include example simulations performed in preparation for a high redshift galaxy survey, and a debris disc survey. These are presented as a demonstration of the sort of outputs the simulator is capable of producing.
