Description
Derive the confusion noise for a range of beam sizes using a combination of real and model source count data at multiple frequencies (e.g. 150 MHz, 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Create a look-up table that can be used by the sensitivity calculator to obtain the confusion noise given the beam size and frequency.
The following should be provided to the Buttons team:
- The confusion noise look-up table
- Code to interpolate the confusion noise values in the look-up table
- Code to generate the look-up table
The code will be written in a Jupyter notebook. The Buttons team could easily convert the code to a Python script for their use.
The sensitivity calculator should output the confusion noise, as well as the final Stokes I noise obtained by adding the confusion noise in quadrature with the thermal noise.
