The Lightspeed project: high-speed, ultra-low read noise imaging and polarimetry for the Magellan telescopes
Christopher Layden, Kevin Burdge, John J. Piotrowski +12
Lightspeed will be an ultra-fast (> kHz), ultra-low read noise, multicolor (ugriz + IR) imager for the 6.5 meter Magellan Clay telescope. In a single-channel configuration, Lightsp…
Optimal mitigation of random telegraph noise for improved photometry at high frame rates
Christopher Layden, Daniel-Rolf Harbeck, Tejus Deo-Dixit +3
Random telegraph noise (RTN) is a major contributor to read noise in many CMOS image sensors considered for astronomical use. While scientific CMOS image sensors deliver lower read…
proto-Lightspeed: a high-speed, ultra-low read noise imager on the Magellan Clay Telescope
Christopher Layden, Kevin Burdge, Gabor Furesz +9
proto-Lightspeed is a new instrument that has been commissioned on the Nasmyth East port of the Magellan Clay Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory to deliver high-speed optical im…
The WINTER Observatory: A One-Degree InGaAs Survey Camera to study the Transient Infrared Sky
Danielle Frostig, Nathan Lourie, Viraj Karambelkar +20
The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated 1-meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. The…
Calibrating the clock of JWST
A. W. Shaw, D. L. Kaplan, P. Gandhi +19
JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid time scales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be contr…
Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
