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…
Optimal mitigation of random telegraph noise for improved photometry at high frame rates
Christopher Layden, Daniel-Rolf Harbeck, Tejus Deo-Dixit +3
Random telegraph noise (RTN) is a major contributor to read noise in many CMOS image sensors considered for astronomical use. While scientific CMOS image sensors deliver lower read…
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…
The WINTER Observatory: A One-Degree InGaAs Survey Camera to study the Transient Infrared Sky
Danielle Frostig, Nathan Lourie, Viraj Karambelkar +20
The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated 1-meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. The…
Calibrating the clock of JWST
A. W. Shaw, D. L. Kaplan, P. Gandhi +19
JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid time scales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be contr…
