Mag 0 Star Simulation #22

Open STSpencer opened 3 years ago

STSpencer commented 3 years ago

Run an NSB run with a mag 0 star in the field for comparison with Akira's ray tracing.

STSpencer commented 3 years ago

Results for rigel (mag=0.12) have been run and can be found in ../results/rigeltry2.

Results suggest a mag 0 star under astronomical dark time corresponds to 892 MHz in a single pixel, I can run more stars if this is useful. Note that the equivalent peak for eta car under dark time is much lower, nearer to 300MHz.

Edit: Check for potential effect of gaussian blurring.

STSpencer commented 3 years ago

Low peak rate not a result of gaussian blurring. Here's a run with it set to 0: image
