Description of test and simulations relevant to APETOOL and SHAPELIB performance.

Simulations are underway to test the following aspects relevant to apetool and shapelib:

  1. How well/accurate can the shapelet-PSF model determine the flux of point-sources: simulate fields (both survey-mode and pointed) with a grid of point sources of fixed flux and spectral. Run ermldetect to detect the sources and measure their flux and compare with the input one.
  2. How well can APETOOL reconstruct the selection function of eROSITA observations: simulate fields (both survey-mode and pointed) with a point-sources with fluxes drawn from a logN-logS distribution and fixed spectral shape. Run ERLDETECT and ptoduce a source list, APETOOL to threshold at a given false detection probability and estimate field sensitivities. Reconstruct input logN-logS and compare.

The relevant simulations are based on modified versions of Nicolas Clerc's scripts described here.
