Validation of Up-the-Ramp Sampling with Cosmic Ray Rejection on IR Detectors

J. D. Offenberg, D. J. Fixsen, B. J. Rauscher +9

We examine cosmic ray rejection methodology on data collected from InSb and Si:As detectors. The application of an Up-the-Ramp sampling technique with cosmic ray identification and…

Cosmic Ray Rejection and Readout Efficiency for Large-Area Arrays

D. J. Fixsen, J. D. Offenberg, R. J. Hanisch +4

We present an algorithm to optimally process uniformly sampled array image data obtained with a nondestructive readout. The algorithm discards full wells, removes cosmic ray (parti…

Multi-Read Out Data Simulator

J. D. Offenberg, R. J. Hanisch, D. J. Fixsen +4

We present a data simulation package designed to create a series of simulated data samples for a detector with non-destructive sampling capability. The original intent of this soft…
