Astronomical Spectroscopy with Skipper CCDs: First Results from a Skipper CCD Focal Plane Prototype at SIFS
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Brandon Roach +22
We present the first on-sky results from an ultra-low-readout-noise Skipper CCD focal plane prototype for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). The Skipper CCD focal plane c…
Design of a Skipper CCD Focal Plane for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Marco Bonati +14
We present the development of a Skipper Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) focal plane prototype for the SOAR Telescope Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). This mosaic focal plane consist…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
The Oscura Experiment
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Fabricio Alcalde Bessia, Nicolas Avalos +41
The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two electr…
Smart readout of nondestructive image sensors with single-photon sensitivity
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +5
Image sensors with nondestructive charge readout provide single-photon or single-electron sensitivity, but at the cost of long readout times. We present a smart readout technique t…
Low Threshold Acquisition controller for Skipper CCDs
Gustavo Cancelo, Claudio Chavez, Fernando Chierchie +10
The development of the Skipper Charge Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) has been a major technological breakthrough for sensing very weak ionizing particles. The sensor allows to reac…
