Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2020-07-02 v2

Abstract

AnisoCADO is a Python package for generating images of the point spread function (PSF) for the european extremely large telescope (ELT). The code allows the user to set many of the most important atmospheric and observational parameters that influence the shape and strehl ratio of the resulting PSF, including but not limited to: the atmospheric turbulence profile, the guide star position for a single conjugate adaptive optics (SCAO) solution, differential telescope pupil transmission, etc. Documentation can be found at https://anisocado.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
