castor_etc

A modular, user-friendly Python package for easy estimation and analysis of CASTOR imaging performance. See the ETC_frontend GitHub repository for a graphical user interface to complement this package.

Includes:

1. Astronomical source generation and background noise estimation

2. Telescope imaging chain simulation, featuring a pixel-based photometry approach

3. Convenience functions for converting between useful quantities (e.g., flux to electron/s to AB magnitude)
