Turns out that the ELG templates go down to ~500 A, so they should be usable out of the box to simulate LBG spectra. However, we need an IGM attenuation module in desisim
(or we need to co-opt something from https://github.com/igmhub).
Not to add further noise, but I have the 5 Shapley composites with lambda = [899., 2000.] AA, split by equivalent width. These could be similar in spirit to e.g. the galaxy PCA, assuming a Fv = constant redwards extension.
I've a script that turns these into gal_maker style (wave, flux, meta), randomly sampling from hardcoded redshifts and colors. I can also turn them into old style rr templates. Is it enough to drop in a list? At what stage in processing does gal_maker start? I also have the same for BC03.
Thanks!

z>2 Lyman-break galaxies are likely to be QSO contaminants so we should develop and include appropriate templates for this class of objects. My instinct is that the ELG templates may be sufficient but we should check. Below is a thread between me and Khee-Gan with some relevant ideas.
