The GAIA System Simulator (GASS)
The aim of the GASS is to simulate GAIA telemetry (observation +
satellite HK data) using models of the objects and instruments.
The GASS will provide realistic data for:
• Predictions to be used for mission design.
• Filling of test databases (e.g. the GDAAS database)
• Testing of algorithms (e.g. cross-matching, telemetry compression,..) and
reduction software (e.g. core processing).
• Evaluation of mission performances, in particular for some peculiar objects
(binary stars, NEO’s, extrasolar planets,...)

GASS - Simulation Process
•
Simulation of the objects visible along the scan of the instruments. For
each object and epoch the program simulates position, kinematics and
photometry. This step includes an Universe model and the scanning law
and orbitals parameters of the satellite.
•
Transformation from sky coordinates to instrument coordinates. This step
includes the geometry and the optics of the instrument, together with the
configuration of the field of view (FOV).
•
Simulation of the observational process according to the instrumental
parameters: detection, acquisition of data and telemetry. This step
includes a model of the observational process.

GASS - Current status
• Reference Universe:
• Sun & Earth: the simulator implements a very simple algorithm to calculate
ephemeris for the Sun and Earth. No other solar system bodies are yet
considered.
• Galaxy: the Galaxy model from Torra et al. (1999; Baltic Astronomy 8, 171) is
implemented. Only main sequence stars (single and binary) are included.
• Satellite model:
• Attitude model: nominal scan law (L.Lindegren) and (simplified) satellite orbit
implemented.
• Geometric model of the Astro Focal Plane.
• Instrument model:
• Only Astro1 and Astro2 instruments are considered.
• A simple detection process is simulated in order to obtain the detection
parameters for each object.
• A bi-dimensional realistic PSF has been implemented (but does not include
chromaticity or focal plane position effects).

needed to generate observations. This allows the unification of the
process even for very different types of objects.

Object simulation: SnapShots
• The simulation of objects is carried
out through the SnapShots.
• A SnapShot is a list of candidate
objects (of one or more types) to
be observed by an instrument
between two times (time1 and time2).
• Example: the SnapShot for the galaxy
model is formed by the objects (single
stars, binary stars,...) generated into
the HTM triangles crossed by the
FOV between time1 and time2.

Crude simulation of Double Star / Planets
• Why ?
– Initially, to complexify the sky model in GDASS
– Now included in GASS/GIBIS
– Need to be complexified: to be used as a template
• Two Java classes
– Generation (dms_simu)
– Use (dms_orbit)
April 19 2002
DMS/PS-WG meeting
31
GAIA SWG
I) Generation
• A call each time a star is created
• Randomly choose
– Number of companions
– Masses, down to EP
– Orbital elements
• Just needs as input:
– The absolute magnitude of the primary
– Optionally colour and mass of primary
• Simplistic assumptions
– Mostly based on Duquesnoy&Mayor 1991 for all stars
– Main-sequence assumed
– … needs something more realistic at a later stage
April 19 2002
DMS/PS-WG meeting
32
GAIA SWG
II) Observations
• Computes the orbital effect at the given epoch
– getPosition(t)
• Simplistic hypothesis
– No interaction between companions
– No limb darkening, no mass transfer, etc…
• Astrometry
– Alpha, delta
– Distance
• Spectroscopy
– Radial velocity
• Photometry (if eclipsing)
– Light curve
– Light-time travel

UML
The design and building of the GAIA simulator is a challenging task:
• Need for requirements & specifications to guide the development
• Many teams involved
• Management and coordination required
• Need to organise & control the source code
• Standarisation of tools, methods and interfaces is key for success
April 19 2002
DMS/PS-WG meeting
38
GAIA SWG
The Unified Modelling Language (UML) was developed as a tool for
the design and management of software projects:
• Allows to specify, visualize and document a system under development
• Facilitates the collaboration between teams
• Allows a modular, iterative and incremental development
• Provides a common description tool, avoiding ambiguities in the design
of the system

Java
• Object-oriented
• Really portable
• Allows a fast development
• Not too fast
• Not yet popular in the astronomical
community
• No numerical libraries available

Programming languages
We propose to build the system around a Java core.
It is possible, with proper planning, to integrate algorithms & modules
written in any programming language.
However, this integration should be carefully planned and carried on
to ensure portability and to avoid a heavy load on the team in charge of
the integration.

CVS
http://www.cvshome.org/
CVS is a version control system used to record the history
of the project source files
It allows a team of developers to simultaneously work in the
same set of source code files while avoiding the overwritting or
incompatibility of each other updates. CVS solves this problem
by insulating the different developers from each other. Every
developer works in his own directory, and CVS merges the
work when each developer is done.
At the same time, it ensures that each developer has the most
recent version of the files.
