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…
Second Generation Readout For Large Format Photon Counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Neelay Fruitwala, Paschal Strader, Gustavo Cancelo +10
We present the development of a second generation digital readout system for photon counting microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays operating in the optical and near-I…
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…
DARKNESS: A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Integral Field Spectrograph for High-Contrast Astronomy
Seth R. Meeker, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alex B. Walter +21
We present DARKNESS (the DARK-speckle Near-infrared Energy-resolving Superconducting Spectrophotometer), the first of several planned integral field spectrographs to use optical/ne…
