raptop: what is SNEID?
<WeylandsWings>
SNEID?
<galois>
SNEID: Super NEID. Generally just a notional instrument that is exactly like NEID aside from having less "noise"/allowing for better single measurement precision/being photon limited
<WeylandsWings>
NEID?
<galois>
NEID: NN-EXPLORE Exoplanet Investigations with Doppler spectroscopy (pronounced [ɲɨi̯d], after the Tohono Oʼodham word ñeid)
<raptop>
That
<WeylandsWings>
Aren’t there better ways of doing equivalencies for detection thresholds?
<WeylandsWings>
Like maybe pixel flux density or something like that

Well, transits don't give a mass and only work with nearly edge-on systems
<WeylandsWings>
I mean yes. I but you are just trying to compare the sensitivities right? If you are looking between SNR and SNEID. So I would think you would want to have a idealized “if it hits the first surface of the telescope how well does it get focused on the array vs the intrinsic noise of the array”
<raptop>
ah. Yeah, the way I'm using the SNR vs inst SNEID thing is very bespoke: champion defined instruments that try to get some best-case of SNR or semi-amplitade; ignoring SNR and just going for semi-amplitude on their instruments; everyone gets SNEID and just goes for SNR

...I'm going to end up managing to re-run all of these simulations in under a week o_O
