PhoSim users-
I have tagged and released version 3.2.1 of the photon simulator! This is a particularly stable and well-tested version that incorporates much of the development of this Fall.
The major new features are:
1) Increased installation usability: a simplified installation (just configure & make), cleaner directory separation of code/data/binaries, etc.
2) Easier user interface: the phosim script has a number of command line switches (try out: phosim -h) & there are now meta-commands that encapsulate a number of more esoteric commands (i.e. clearturbulence)
3) Enhanced validation: we now have 83 validation metrics from the integration & unit tests that are run many times before releasing a version
4) Background photons are simulated as regular astrophysical photons (now faster & more fully tested)
5) Perturbation framework is implemented (the old perturbation model is still functioning, but once we get the camera & telescope data installed perturbations will be based on a physics finite element description)
6) Airglow has a spatial dependence (see the nice image that En-Hsin made below)
7) More documentation!:
Our documentation is here:
