FeaturesΒΆ

PHRINGE was specifically designed to allow for large-scale architecture trades under realistic conditions and offers the following features:

  • Flexible Instrument Architectures:
    Model any array configuration or beam combiner thanks to symbolic matrix-based input with SymPy.
  • Instrumental Noise Modeling:
    Model time domain Monte Carlo-sampled instrument perturbations such as amplitude, phase and polarization rotation errors.
  • Custom Astrophysical Scenes:
    Specify exoplanetary systems with full control over astrophysical sources and the option for modeling planetary orbital motion.
  • Fast Computations:
    Run PHRINGE on GPU (in addition to CPU) to speed up computations thanks to the integration of PyTorch.
  • Support for NIFITS Data Standard:
    Export your synthetic data sets as NIFITS files thanks to the integration of nifits.
