Description
OSKAR accepts a list of sources (sky model) to be included in the simulated telescope image. Currently, two types of sources are possible: point sources and Gaussian sources. Gaussian sources are extended sources whose profile is described by a Gaussian function. We ask that a third type of extended sources is added to the OSKAR sky model: exponential sources (extended sources with an exponential profile). This profile is more correct to represent "normal" spiral galaxies than the Gasssian and would produce more realistic simulations.
