The Dark Energy Camera (DECam)
K. Honscheid, D. L. DePoy
In this paper we describe the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), which will be the primary instrument used in the Dark Energy Survey. DECam will be a 3 sq. deg. mosaic camera mounted at t…
Radiation Tolerance of Fully-Depleted P-Channel CCDs Designed for the SNAP Satellite
Kyle Dawson, Chris Bebek, John Emes +9
Thick, fully depleted p-channel charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These CCDs have several advantages over conve…
Probing Dark Energy via Weak Gravitational Lensing with the SuperNova Acceleration Probe (SNAP)
SNAP Collaboration
SNAP is a candidate for the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) that seeks to place constraints on the dark energy using two distinct methods. The first, Type Ia SN, is discussed in a…
Weak Lensing from Space I: Instrumentation and Survey Strategy
Jason Rhodes, Alexandre Refregier, Richard Massey +1
A wide field space-based imaging telescope is necessary to fully exploit the technique of observing dark matter via weak gravitational lensing. This first paper in a three part ser…
