A framework for modeling the detailed optical response of thick, multiple segment, large format sensors for precision astronomy applications

Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | First 5 Authors: Andrew Rasmussen, Pierre Antilogus, Pierre Astier, Chuck Claver, Peter Doherty | Summary: Near-future astronomical survey experiments, such as LSST, possess system requirements of unprecedented fidelity that span photometry, astrometry and shape transfer. Some of these requirements flow directly to the array of science imaging sensors at the […]
