Improving radiation hardness in space-based Charge-Coupled Devices: An experimental validation of a new pre-fabrication modelling technique
S. Parsons, D. Hall, T. Buggey +2
The soft X-ray imager (SXI) on the SMILE mission uses two large 4510x4510 back illuminated CCD370s to detect X-rays in the 0.2-2 keV range. These devices take heritage from the opt…
Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry
Fabien Malbet, Céline Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +83
Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint ob…
Effects of Temperature Anneal Cycling on a Cryogenically Proton Irradiated CCD
S. Parsons, T. Buggey, A. Holland +7
Throughout a typical Earth orbit a satellite is constantly bombarded by radiation with trapped and solar protons being of particular concern as they gradually damage the focal plan…
Cal X-1: an absolute in-orbit calibrator for current and future X-ray observatories
Keith Jahoda, Maxim Markevitch, Takashi Okajima +6
We describe Cal X-1, a SmallSat mission concept to establish X-ray standard candles in the sky, which will enable absolute calibration of the current and future X-ray observatories…
Importance of charge capture in inter-phase regions during readout of charge-coupled devices
Jesper Skottfelt, David J. Hall, Ben Dryer +3
The current understanding of charge transfer dynamics in Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) is that charge is moved so quickly from one phase to the next in a clocking sequence and with…
Technology advancement of the CCD201-20 EMCCD for the WFIRST coronagraph instrument: sensor characterization and radiation damage
Leon K. Harding, Richard T. Demers, Michael Hoenk +15
The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Asset (WFIRST-AFTA) mission is a 2.4-m class space telescope that will be used across a swath of astrophysic…
