 RUBIX is a versatile Integral Field Unit (IFU) tool designed for astrophysical simulations. It transforms any particle based galaxy model (e.g. cosmological hydrodynamical simulation outputs) into realistic mock IFU cubes, enabling both forward and inverse modeling. Built on JAX, RUBIX leverages GPU acceleration and automatic differentiation, allowing users to perform gradient-based optimization for inverse modeling alongside traditional forward modeling.
