Query: Simu-LC : a Light-Curve simulator for CoRoT   Simulating the data that a space instrument like COROT will provide might
look presomptuous. Indeed, it is certainly, when comparing to previous
comparable instruments like IPHIR or GOLF. These two examples show that the
nominal behaviour of the instrument is not always reached, but this does not
prevent this instrument to provide very interesting data. However, despite some
technical problems, IPHIR and GOLF yielded a wealth of scientific results.
Thus, what is the interest of simulating COROT data? How close to reality these
simualtions will get? This might not be the most important fact as the
preparation of these simulations will help us to prepare the analysis of real
data and to be ready in case of unexpected technical behaviour of the
instrument perturbating the data, or unexpected physical behaviour of the
targets of the instrument. A consequence of that is that the simulation tool
must include technical and physical aspects, making the task even more
difficult. These aspects cover: photon noise, p modes excitation, granulation
signal, stellar activity signal, orbital perturbations, stellar rotation...
