Likelihood of detection as a function of apparent magnitude and rate of motion #35

To be able to debias the survey, we need the detection likelihood for each exposure as a function of apparent magnitude and rate of motion.

I think that more will be needed to debias HelioLinC discoveries since HelioLinC's probability of discovering an object is dependent on more than just single-night rate of motion. LSST should still discover plenty of objects in 4-detection tracklets where observing fields overlap, so those discoveries could be debiased just as a function of rate of motion and apparent magnitude.
