JitterPointing

class marxs.source.JitterPointing(**kwargs)

Bases: FixedPointing

Transform spacecraft to fixed sky system.

This extends marxs.sourcs.FixedPointing by adding a random jitter coordinate. In this simple implementation the jitter angles applied to two consecutive photons are entirely uncorrelated, even if these two photons arrive at the same time. This class makes the assumption that jitter is small (no change in the projected geometric area of the aperture due to jitter).

Parameters

jitterQuantity

Gaussian sigma of jitter angle

Define a new MARXS element.
