SOSS Simulation Tools
by the NIRISS Instrument Team
The NIRISS Single Object Slitless Spectrograph (SOSS) 1-D Simulator:
This tool prepared by the NIRISS Instrument Team simulates spectra produced with the SOSS observing mode of NIRISS doing transit spectroscopy. It computes signal and noise
from first principles, based on our best knowledge of the instrument and observatory. This is a 1-D tool, i.e., we deal with flux per pixel row extracted from the detector and
assume that the extraction was done optimally, not introducing errors. We encourage the user to read the Simulator Guide.
