论文摘要
Ixpeobssim是一个基于Python编程语言和相关的科学生态系统的模拟和分析框架，该框架专门为X射线偏光浏览器（IXPE）开发。鉴于源模型和望远镜的响应功能，它旨在以拟合格式的事件列表的形式产生现实的模拟观测值，其中包含标准IXPE级别2文件提供的严格超级集合。核心IXPEOBSSIM仿真功能与完整的后处理应用程序相辅相成，允许实施复杂的，极化感知的分析管道，并促进X射线社区传统上使用的标准可视化和分析工具来促进配置。我们强调的是，尽管该框架的很大一部分是IXPE的特定部分，但基本实现的模块化性质使得它可能直接适应具有极化能力的不同任务。
ixpeobssim is a simulation and analysis framework, based on the Python programming language and the associated scientific ecosystem, specifically developed for the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Given a source model and the response functions of the telescopes, it is designed to produce realistic simulated observations, in the form of event lists in FITS format, containing a strict super-set of the information provided by standard IXPE level-2 files. The core ixpeobssim simulation capabilities are complemented by a full suite of post-processing applications, allowing for the implementation of complex, polarization-aware analysis pipelines, and facilitating the inter-operation with the standard visualization and analysis tools traditionally in use by the X-ray community. We emphasize that, although a significant part of the framework is specific to IXPE, the modular nature of the underlying implementation makes it potentially straightforward to adapt it to different missions with polarization capabilities.
