Abstract

Pyxel is an opensource python-based framework to simulate images including instrumental effects with a focus on detector modelling (CCDs & EM-CCDS, CIS, Hybrid-CMOS, APDs, MKIDs etc.). Right from the start of its development at ESA, Pyxel has been conceived to easily integrate and pipeline models from different contributors and in this way foster collaboration in the instrumentation community. We give an overview of the framework focusing on the main improvements and evolution since v1.0 and examples of new features. On top of the many models that were added to the framework, the pipeline hosts now to two new model groups “scene generation” and “data processing” to make the framework even more self-consistent.
