Simulation Name!

[AngusWright]

We need a name for the KiDS-Legacy suite of simulations that we are currently creating!

@kuijken will definitely need to be involved.

Possibly relevant info:

• The simulations use imaging in the COSMOS field
• The N-body back-end for the simulation is called SURFS
• The Semi-analytic model is called Shark
• The simulation will be of KiDS-like data

Given the above, @lshuns has voted for COSMoUSSE: COSMOS-Morphology-Using SURFS+Shark Emulations

This is most certainly a valiant effort. This issue is for us to pool ideas and decide on a name.

Given the concern Angus mentioned (the similarity between CosMouSSe and COSMOS), I would propose another one: Cmousse. Happy to hear any other thoughts.

Another piece of information people may want to know is that the previous two simulations for KiDS are named as School and College (kids need educations, I wonder where kids can go after college...)

Simulated KiDS Legacy - SKiL ? What you get after school and college?

SKiL, love it!!

I like it! What about a slightly different form:

Synthetic KiDS-Legacy-Like Simulations (SKiLLS)?

[AngusWright]

Or another different s-words for the first/last ones, because "Synthetic Simulations" is a bit redundant. Perhaps something that distinguishes it from our previous simulations with e.g. MICE2, in that these simulate images:

Synthetic KiDS-Legacy-Like Skies or
Simulated KiDS-Legacy-Like Skies

[kuijken]

or let the fist S stand for SURFS or SHARKS ?
