BRITE-Constellation: Simulation of Photometric Performance
Abstract
BRITE (BRIght Target Explorer) is a satellite mission dedicated to survey the sky, measuring the brightness and temperature variations of the brightest stars. In order to evaluate the expected performance of the science payload, a detailed simulation of the camera and the optical system has been performed. The results confirm that the SNR specified in the mission requirements can be achieved.
