96 kHz on-sky imaging on an adaptive optics system with a single-photon avalanche diode
Theodore A. Grosson, Maaike A. M. van Kooten, Kathryn Jackson +2
Astronomical observations requiring extremely high angular resolution necessitate advanced adaptive optics (AO) systems to overcome blurring caused by the atmosphere. In addition t…
Exploring the trade-space of distributed aperture telescopes for faint-object spectroscopy
Theodore A. Grosson, Deborah M. Lokhorst, Alan W. McConnachie
Scientific programs targeting the faintest objects push modern telescopes to increasingly large sizes, high costs and complex designs. Obtaining spectra of low surface brightness g…
Bright Region Reset: an on-detector strategy for minimizing the impacts of atmospheric emission lines on spectral observations
Theodore A. Grosson, Edward L. Chapin, Tim Hardy +4
Observations in the near-infrared using large ground-based telescopes are adversely impacted by bright atmospheric emission lines, particularly the OH Meinel bands. These lines can…
Fast resets of sub-windows on infrared detectors as a strategy for persistence mitigation
Edward L. Chapin, Theodore Grosson, Tim Hardy +1
Persistence effects in HgCdTe infrared detectors cause significant artifacts that can impact the quality of science observations for up to many hours after exposure to bright/satur…
Fat cosmic ray tracks in charge-coupled devices
Theodore A. Grosson, Andrei Nomerotski, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
Cosmic rays are particles from the upper atmosphere which often leave bright spots and trails in images from telescope CCDs. We investigate so-called ``fat" cosmic rays seen in ima…
