The Euclid mission design
Giuseppe D Racca, Rene Laureijs, Luca Stagnaro +39
Euclid is a space-based optical/near-infrared survey mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity by observing the g…
On-orbit performance of the Gaia CCDs at L2
C. Crowley, R. Kohley, N. C. Hambly +19
The European Space Agency's Gaia satellite was launched into orbit around L2 in December 2013 with a payload containing 106 large-format scientific CCDs. The primary goal of the mi…
How well can Charge Transfer Inefficiency be corrected? A parameter sensitivity study for iterative correction
Holger Israel, Richard Massey, Thibaut Prod'homme +9
Radiation damage to space-based Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) detectors creates defects which result in an increasing Charge Transfer Inefficiency (CTI) that causes spurious image tr…
An Analytical Model of Radiation-Induced Charge Transfer Inefficiency for CCD Detectors
Alexander Short, Cian Crowley, Jos H. J. de Bruijne +1
The European Space Agency's Gaia mission is scheduled for launch in 2013. It will operate at L2 for 5 years, rotating slowly to scan the sky so that its two optical telescopes will…
Electrode level Monte Carlo model of radiation damage effects on astronomical CCDs
T. Prod'homme, A. G. A. Brown, L. Lindegren +2
Current optical space telescopes rely upon silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) to detect and image the incoming photons. The performance of a CCD detector depends on its ability…
The Signature of Supernova Ejecta Measured in the X-ray Afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst 011211
J. N. Reeves, D. Watson, J. P. Osborne +8
Since their identification with cosmological distances, Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been recognised as the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, with an isotropic burst energy…
The first XMM-Newton spectrum of a high redshift quasar - PKS 0537-286
J. N. Reeves, M. J. L. Turner, P. J. Bennie +6
We present XMM-Newton observations of the high redshift z=3.104, radio-loud quasar PKS 0537-286. The EPIC CCD cameras provide the highest signal-to-noise spectrum of a high-z quasa…
X-ray Measurement of the subpixel structure of the XMM EPIC MOS CCD
H. Tsunemi, K. Yoshita, A. D. Short +3
We report here the results of a mesh experiment to measure the subpixel structure of the EPIC MOS CCDs on board the XMM X-ray observatory. The pixel size is 40m square while the…
