Scientific paper

We introduce SLIM, a slitless spectroscopy simulator written in Python which can be used to simulate the ACS grism and prism modes. SLIM was designed to produce realistic, photometrically correct two-dimensional images from which spectra can be extracted. Here, we outline the features of SLIM and present some WFC and HRC grism simulations of emission line objects. We include emission line S/N estimates of a Seyfert 2 galaxy as a function of exposure time and observed V magnitude when observed with the WFC grism mode, as well as estimates of the S/N of the emission lines of a Cygnus A clone when observed using the HRC grism mode.
