contents MOMOS, the Multi-Object MKID Optical Spectrometer, is a proposed visible wavelength spectrometer that uses MKIDs (Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors) targeting an initial resolving power of 3500. With their modest wavelength-resolving abilities, MKIDs take the place of both the cross disperser and detector in the spectrometer. MKIDs lack read noise and dark current enabling noiseless post-observation rebinning and characterization of faint objects, as well as time-resolved photon counting spectroscopy. This work presents an MOMOS simulator customizable for different MOMOS configurations. Treating simulator products as inputs, an algorithm was developed and implemented in the MOMOS data reduction package to calibrate and extract spectra.
