Simulation code for the Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays

This repository contains a python code for simulating X-ray flaring configurations and corresponding data recorded by the Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) on board the ESA Solar Orbiter mission. The simulation code is based on "The STIX Imaging Concept" (2023) by Massa et al. (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11207-023-02205-7).

Specifically, simulator.py contains the following functions.

  • SimulateConfig for simulating a random X-ray flaring configuration consisting of a number of sources which is provided as input by the user. This function returns both the parameter values describing the configuration and the corresponding STIX data.
  • CreateGaussianSource for generating the image of a Gaussian-shaped X-ray source from the corresponding parameters.

An example of the simulation code is provided in demo_simulator.ipynb.
