(GSC-18656-1)
Overview
Exoscene is a Python software library of classes and utility functions for simulating direct images of exoplanetary systems. Exoscene can model the orbital position and Lambert sphere phase function of an exoplanet based on its user-defined Keplerian orbit and observing date (or series of observing dates). It enables a user to visualize the time-dependent, sky-projected position and relative brightness of an exoplanet observed in reflected starlight. Exoscene also provides functions for resampling model images to different spatial resolutions and for applying statistical noise models to simulate detector exposures. The package was developed by Neil Zimmerman (NASA/GSFC), with source code contributions from Maxime Rizzo and Christopher Stark.
