The Fast Transient Foreground Fog of LSST
G. Megias Homar, S. R. Kulkarni, C. S. Lage +3
Studies with 1-m class telescopes have now established that glints from satellites and space debris are the main obstacles to searches for sub-minute optical transients. Here, we r…
Mitigation of the Brighter-Fatter Effect in the LSST Camera
Alex Broughton, Yousuke Utsumi, Andrés Plazas Malagón +8
Thick, fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are known to exhibit non-linear behavior at high signal levels due to the dynamic behavior of charges collecting in the potentia…
The Brighter-Fatter Effect in the JWST MIRI Si:As IBC detectors I. Observations, impact on science, and modelling
Ioannis Argyriou, Craig Lage, George H. Rieke +10
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) uses three Si:As impurity band conduction (IBC) detector arrays. The output voltage level of each…
Fringing Analysis and Simulation for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Zhiyuan Guo, Chris W. Walter, Craig Lage +2
The presence of fringing in astronomical CCD images will impact photometric quality and measurements. Yet its impact on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and T…
Understanding the effects of charge diffusion in next-generation soft X-ray imagers
Eric D. Miller, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly J. LaMarr +6
To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ra…
Laboratory Measurements of Instrumental Signatures of the LSST Camera Focal Plane
Adam Snyder, Aurelien Barrau, Andrew Bradshaw +19
Electro-optical testing and characterization of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera focal plane, consisting of 205 charge-coupled devices (C…
