Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS\,1 CCDs

Eugene A. Magnier, J. L. Tonry, D. Finkbeiner +10

Thick back-illuminated deep-depletion CCDs have superior quantum efficiency over previous generations of thinned and traditional thick CCDs. As a result, they are being used for wi…

Physical properties of 15 quasars at

C. Mazzucchelli, E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans +21

Quasars are galaxies hosting accreting supermassive black holes; due to their brightness, they are unique probes of the early universe. To date, only few quasars have been reported…
