The EoR-Spec is a Fabry-Perot spectrometer module of Prime-Cam, which is one of the two first-generation instruments of CCAT. It is designed to study the extremely faint and distant galaxies from epoch of reionization (EoR) by observing the redshifted emission line of carbon ions, using the Line-intensity Mapping (LIM) technique. The EoR-Spec dataset is quite complex; each detector in the detector array detects emission at a different frequency and position in the sky. Such data is continuously produced as timestream data. Therefore, we need simulations to optimize the observing strategy and develop the data reduction pipeline. While the EoR-Spec itself is developed by our collaborators at Cornell University, we are significantly contributing to simulations, observation planning, and data reduction pipeline development.
