Contacts: Rémy Josep , Ismael Mendoza Day/Time: 8-9am EST (M-W) Main communication channel: blending_toolkit GitHub repo: BlendingToolKit, PR #52 Zoom room: DESC # 16 (see confluence page for link)

Goals and deliverable

develop a new functionality in BTK to enable realistic galaxy profiles.

Resources and skills needed

git, python, BTK, galsim.

Detailed description

The BlendingToolKit allows to draw blends using catalog entries and light profiles generated by the WeakLensingDeblending package. This sprint aims at removing the dependence from WLD with regard to the generation of light profiles and draw profiles directly from galsim using the realistic profiles.
