Release of the WSO-UV Software tools to attend the call for the Core Scientific Program

In October 2018 there will be a fist call for the Core Scientific Program to the WSO-UV observatory. In order to attend the needs of the appliers to that call, we present a set of tools including a simulator for the instrumentation of the mission (WSO-UV Simulator) and an Exposure Time Calculator (ETC). The WSO-UV space observatory, to be launched in 2023, will provide with slitless, long-slit and echelle spectroscopy with the WSO-UV Spectrographs (WUVS) and high resolution images and low resolution spectra with the Field Camera Unit (FCU). The Core Scientific Program of the WSO-UV observatory will include the key scientific research projects driving the development of the mission. In order to guarantee that possible preparatory observations are carried out on due time before launch, the first call to the core program will be open 4 years before the launch. We developed a set of tools to support the astronomers attending this call and made them available through the Remote Proposal System (RPS) web site.
