Exploring the Brighter-fatter Effect with the Hyper Suprime-Cam
The brighter fatter effect has been postulated to arise due to the build up of a transverse electric field, produced as photo-charges accumulate in the pixels' potential wells. We investigate the brighter fatter effect in Hyper Suprime-Cam by examining flat fields and moments of stars. We observe deviations from the …
