Enabling Early Transient Discovery in LSST via Difference Imaging with DECam
Yize Dong, Kaylee de Soto, V. Ashley Villar +58
We present SLIDE, a pipeline that enables transient discovery in data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), using archival images from the Da…
Poisson_CCD: A dedicated simulator for modeling CCDs
Craig Lage, Andrew K. Bradshaw, J. Anthony Tyson
A dedicated simulator, Poisson_CCD, has been constructed which models astronomical CCDs by solving Poisson's equation numerically and simulating charge transport within the CCD. Th…
Characterization of LSST CCDs Using Realistic Images, Before First Light
Andrew K. Bradshaw, Craig Lage, J. Anthony Tyson
The 3.2 gigapixel LSST camera, an array of 189 thick fully-depleted CCDs, will repeatedly image the southern sky and accomplish a wide variety of science goals. However, its trove…
Measurements and Simulations of the Brighter-Fatter Effect in CCD Sensors
Craig Lage, Andrew Bradshaw, J. Anthony Tyson
Reduction of images and science analysis from ground-based telescopes such as the LSST requires detailed knowledge of the PSF of the image, which includes components attributable t…
Mapping charge transport effects in thick CCDs with a dithered array of 40,000 stars
Andrew Bradshaw, Craig Lage, Elodie Resseguie +1
We characterize the astrometric distortion at the edges of thick, fully-depleted CCDs in the lab using a bench-top simulation of LSST observing. By illuminating an array of forty t…
Conference summary: Workshop on Precision Astronomy with Fully Depleted CCDs (2014)
J. A. Tyson
Thick fully depleted CCDs, while enabling wide spectral response, also present challenges in understanding the systematic errors due to 3D charge transport. This 2014 Workshop on P…
