Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program for Solar System Science
This is a fork of https://lssttooworkshop.github.io with a small amount of Solar System-specific added features.
The notebook plots_RubinToO2024.ipynb has the following features:
- visualization of the ToO observing strategies
- light curves plots
- exposure time calculator (ETC) to convert exposure times to limiting magnitudes and vice-versa and modified to account for the near-Sun twilight survey and trailing losses
- time budget calculations
we provided a Google Colab notebook version of this notebook at https://drive.google.com/file/d/10fRrqK9eDnaR2Va7RoYAkSlaVEAr5zMb/view?usp=sharing
To use this notebook:
- open the link
- click on "Open with Colab" (if that is not your default at this point you will see the ugly json file)
- save a copy of the notebook in your Drive (you do not have permission to edit the notebook directly)
- run the top cells of the notebook to connect mount your google drive, you will have some pop-up windows to go through at this point and give permissions
-
run the cells that clone the original repo
-
you will only need to run this once, after the first time you run the notebook
since this is not fully packaged, you will need to run the tests as:
python -m pytest
in order to put the current directory onto the PYTHONPATH and for the tests to find the code.
