Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS1 CCDs
Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS1 CCDs
Thick back-illuminated deep-depletion CCDs have superior quantum efficiency over previous generations of thinned and traditional thick CCDs. As a result, they are being used for wide-field imaging cameras in several major projects. We use observations from the Pan-STARRS 3π survey to characterize the behavior of the deep-depletion devices used in …
