sixty
A simple python wrapper for SIXTE, a software package for X-ray telescope observation simulations.
This module assumes that a working installation of SIXTE and SIMPUT is available in your system. See the installation instructions in the SIXTE website. I have only trested this on linux, I don't know if it would work on macOS.
Example
import sixty
sixty.run("sixteversion")
Any command available for SIXTE/SIMPUT can be called by the run method. For example, to run the first example presented in the SIXTE website, you can do (assuming you already have the required files):
sixty.run(
"simputfile",
RA=40.2,
Dec=12.8,
XSPECFile="example_spectrum.xcm",
LCFile=example_lightcurve.dat,
MJDREF=50800.0,
Emin=0.5,
Emax=10.0,
srcFlux=2.3e-12,
Simput="example_source.simput",
)
