Description
The maria simulator (https://thomaswmorris.com/maria/) is a python-based, comprehensive tool for simulating mapping observations with direct-detection instruments such as kinetic inductance detectors or bolometers. Ongoing work includes expanding its functionality to include spectroscopy and the use of GPU-accelerated code. I will provide a quick demonstration of its capabilities through easy, step-by-step pedagogical jupyter notebooks in order to help jumpstart your AtLAST science forecasting efforts.
