Introduction Detector Read-out Data Reduction Manuals ETC   The CAIN-III NICMOS3 infrared detector, with the SDSU readout electronics, has four readout modes. They are explained below. First of all, we adopt the following definitions in hierarchical order: FRAME: Individual array readout (equivalent to READ). IMAGE: Result of processing one or several frames. CYCLE: group of […]

  Documents (PDF): User manual   Introduction FastCam is an instrument designed to obtain high spatial resolution images in the optical wavelength range from ground-based telescopes by using the Lucky Imaging technique. This technique is based on the idea of registering the instants of atmospheric stability, typically lasting just some milliseconds, using very short exposures. […]

Introduction Detector Read-out Data Reduction Manuals ETC   Current filter wheel configuration   CAIN-III has been decommissioned on Jan 1, 2019.   CAIN-III is a powerful and versatile instrument designed and built by the IAC. Its detector is composed by a mosaic of 256 x 256 HgCdTe photovoltaic elements (NICMOS 3 technology), sensitive in the […]

Introduction Characteristics Q.E. Filters Manuals   TCP has been decommissioned on Jan 1, 2018.     The TCP camera (Tromsoe CCD Photometer) is a portable instrument optimized for fast readout photometry (Windowed system) based on CCD technology. TCP incorporates the possibility of an on-line data reduction, i.e. that light-curves of the targets can be produced […]
