ExoSim 2 is the next generation of the Exoplanet Observation Simulator ExoSim tailored for spectro-photometric observations of transiting exoplanets from space, ground, and sub-orbital platforms. This software is a complete rewrite implemented in Python 3, embracing object-oriented design principles, which allow users to replace each component with their functions when required.
ExoSim 2.0 is available on PyPI and can be installed via pip as
pip install exosim
ExoSim 2.0 is compatible (tested) with Python 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10
To install from source, clone the repository and move inside the directory.
Then use pip as
pip install .
If you have installed ExoSim from source-code, to test your ExoSim2 installation simply run from the main ExoSim2 folder
pip install -e ".[test]"
python -m unittest discover -s tests
ExoSim2 comes with an extensive documentation, which can be built using Sphinx. The documentation includes a tutorial, a user guide and a reference guide.
To build the documentation, install the needed packages first via:
pip install -e ".[docs]"
