PandExo Documentation

Tools to help the community with planning exoplanet observations.

Note

Use the PandExo web interface on STScI’s ExoCTK for browser-based calculations.

PandExo is both an online tool and a Python package for generating instrument simulations of JWST’s NIRSpec, NIRCam, NIRISS, and MIRI, and HST’s WFC3. It uses throughput calculations from STScI’s Exposure Time Calculator, Pandeia: Pandeia + Exoplanets = PandExo.

Start with Pre-installation Data Download to configure the local package and required reference data. Then follow the JWST Tutorial or HST Tutorial, use Instrument Configuration Parameters to select a supported instrument configuration, and consult JWST Output Dictionary when analyzing a completed calculation.
