Optimal Photon Counting with Fast, Low Noise Astronomical Imagers
Jack T. Dinsmore, Christopher Layden, Roger W. Romani +9
Measuring rapid astrophysical phenomena requires many short exposures, which suffer from repeated read noise. A variety of recent technologies are achieving sub-electron read noise…
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…
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…
Polarization Leakage and the IXPE PSF
Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani
By measuring photoelectron tracks, the gas pixel detectors of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer satellite provide estimates of the photon detection location and its electric v…
