A bestiary of low-level electrical artifacts in SPHEREx flight data

Candice M. Fazar, Michael Zemcov, C. Darren Dowell +3

SPHEREx, NASA's all-sky spectrophotometric survey mission, maps the sky in 102 spectral channels from 0.75 um to 5.0 um at 6.15'' resolution from low-Earth orbit using a custom rea…

Image persistence flagging for SPHEREx

Candice Fazar, C. Darren Dowell, Brendan P. Crill +3

Image persistence in HAWAII-2RG HgCdTe detectors has been observed by multiple parties. Also known as latent signal, this effect occurs when sensor images following an illumination…

Tracing the Boundary of the South Atlantic Anomaly Region with SPHEREx Transient Flagging Rates

Chi H. Nguyen, James Bock, Sean Bryan +10

The NASA SPHEREx satellite was launched in 03/2025 to survey the full sky between 0.75 - 5.0 um. The image processing of SPHEREx H2RG detectors includes real-time flagging of trans…
