Status DMS/PS-WG meeting
The GAIA System Simulator (GASS) The aim of the GASS is to simulate GAIA telemetry (observation + satellite HK data) using models of the objects and instruments. • The GASS will provide realistic data for: • Predictions to be used for mission design. • Filling of test databases (e.g. the GDAAS database) • Testing of algorithms (e.g. cross-matching, telemetry compression,..) and reduction software (e.g. core processing). • Evaluation of mission performances, in particular for some peculiar objects (binary stars, NEO’s, extrasolar planets,...) DMS/PS-WG meeting
GASS - Simulation Process • Simulation of the objects visible along the scan of the instruments. For each object and epoch the program simulates position, kinematics and photometry. This step includes an Universe model and the scanning law and orbitals parameters of the satellite. • Transformation from sky coordinates to instrument coordinates. This step includes the geometry and the optics of the instrument, together with the configuration of the field of view (FOV). • Simulation of the observational process according to the instrumental parameters: detection, acquisition of data and telemetry. This step includes a model of the observational process. DMS/PS-WG meeting

GASS - Current status • Reference Universe: • Sun & Earth: the simulator implements a very simple algorithm to calculate ephemeris for the Sun and Earth. No other solar system bodies are yet considered. • Galaxy: the Galaxy model from Torra et al. (1999; Baltic Astronomy 8, 171) is implemented. Only main sequencestars (single and binary) are included. • Satellite model: • Attitude model: nominal scan law (L.Lindegren) and (simplified) satellite orbit implemented. • Geometric model of the Astro Focal Plane. • Instrument model: • Only Astro1 and Astro2 instruments are considered. • A simple detection process is simulated in order to obtain the detection parameters for each object. • A bi-dimensional realistic PSF has been implemented (but does not include chromaticity or focal plane position effects).

DMS/PS simulations DMS/PS-WG meeting
Object simulation: unification of the process • The AstroObjects that form the ObservingList contain all the methods needed to generate observations. This allows the unification of the process even for very different types of objects. An unique Method with different implementations (one for object type) DMS/PS-WG meeting
Object simulation: SnapShots • The simulation of objects is carried out through the SnapShots. • A SnapShot is a list of candidate objects (of one or more types) to be observed by an instrument between two times (time1 and time2). • Example: the SnapShot for the galaxy model is formed by the objects (single stars, binary stars,...) generated into the HTM triangles crossed by the FOV between time1 and time2. DMS/PS-WG meeting
Crude simulation of Double Star / Planets • Why ? • Initially, to complexify the sky model in GDASS • Now included in GASS/GIBIS • Need to be complexified: to be used as a template • Two Java classes • Generation (dms_simu) • Use (dms_orbit) DMS/PS-WG meeting
I) Generation • A call each time a star is created • Randomly choose • Number of companions • Masses, down to EP • Orbital elements • Just needs as input: • The absolute magnitude of the primary • Optionally colour and mass of primary • Simplistic assumptions • Mostly based on Duquesnoy&Mayor 1991 for all stars • Main-sequence assumed • … needs something more realistic at a later stage DMS/PS-WG meeting
II) Observations • Computes the orbital effect at the given epoch • getPosition(t) • Simplistic hypothesis • No interaction between companions • No limb darkening, no mass transfer, etc… • Astrometry • Alpha, delta • Distance • Spectroscopy • Radial velocity • Photometry (if eclipsing) • Light curve • Light-time travel R CMa, eclipsing binary with a P=100yr companion DMS/PS-WG meeting
More realistic distribution of DMS/PS/BD Evolved companions Peculiar objects (contact binaries) Variable companions Optimisations Needed DMS/PS-WG meeting

UML The design and building of the GAIA simulator is a challenging task: • Need for requirements & specifications to guide the development • Many teams involved • Management and coordination required • Need to organise & control the source code • Standarisation of tools, methods and interfaces is key for success DMS/PS-WG meeting
The Unified Modelling Language (UML) was developed as a tool for the design and management of software projects: • Allows to specify, visualize and document a system under development • Facilitates the collaboration between teams • Allows a modular, iterative and incremental development • Provides a common description tool, avoiding ambiguities in the design of the system DMS/PS-WG meeting
Java • Object-oriented • Really portable • Allows a fast development • Not too fast • Not yet popular in the astronomical • community • No numerical libraries available DMS/PS-WG meeting
Programming languages • We propose to build the system around a Java core. • It is possible, with proper planning, to integrate algorithms & modules written in any programming language. • However, this integration should be carefully planned and carried on to ensure portability and to avoid a heavy load on the team in charge of the integration. DMS/PS-WG meeting
CVS http://www.cvshome.org/ CVS is a version control system used to record the history of the project source files It allows a team of developers to simultaneously work in the same set of source code files while avoiding the overwritting or incompatibility of each other updates. CVS solves this problem by insulating the different developers from each other. Every developer works in his own directory, and CVS merges the work when each developer is done. At the same time, it ensures that each developer has the most recent version of the files. DMS/PS-WG meeting
