Mock Observations for the CSST Mission: CPI-C -- Targets for High Contrast Imaging
CPISM is a Python simulation program for the CPI-C instrument on CSST that generates realistic Level 0 data and synthetic observations. It simulates stellar and planetary properties, optical effects, instrumental noise, and cosmic ray artifacts to optimize target selection and observation strategies for high-contrast exoplanet imaging. The results provide a foundation for validating pipelines and planning future missions.
