Releases: lsst/rubin_sim
0.14.0
0.12.1
The first GitHub release for rubin_sim. This is a v0 version, and future versions will break the APIs defined here due (at a minimum) to updating the naming patterns to better match python standards.
Rubin_sim is a software package for both simulating Rubin Observatory performance and developing the operations scheduler (which also requires simulating conditions and performance of the observatory and site).
Rubin_sim has been developed as part of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) project. Early development was carried out in the following (now legacy) packages:
- sims_maf,
- sims_mafContrib,
- sims_photUtils,
- sims_coordUtils,
- sims_utils,
- sims_movingObjects,
- sims_downtimeModel,
- sims_cloudModel,
- sims_seeingModel,
- sims_skybrightness,
- sims_skybrightness_pre,
- sims_maps,
- sims_dustmaps,
- sims_almanac,
- sims_operations - an original version of the scheduler
- sims_featureScheduler - the future operations version of the scheduler
The earliest development history is preserved in the git logs of these packages, which were merged and refactored to create rubin_sim in 2021 (thus losing the commit history). When repackaged into rubin_sim, previous dependencies on the LSST data management build system were also shed, allowing simpler installation and usage.
rubin_sim is maintained by @yoachim, @rhiannonlynne, @ehneilsen, and @tribeiro
rubin_sim is also an open-software project and we are grateful for the many contributions from our (primarily astronomical) community.
