Precision Projector Laboratory: detector characterization with an astronomical emulation testbed [PDF]
As astronomical observations from space benefit from improved sensitivity, the effectiveness of scientific programs is becoming limited by systematics that often originate in poorly understood image sensor behavior. Traditional, bottom-up detector characterization methods provide one way to model underlying detector physics, and generate ever more ...

The Growth of Interest in Astronomical X-Ray Polarimetry
Astronomical X-ray polarimetry was first explored in the end of the 1960s by pioneering rocket instruments. The craze arising from the first discoveries of stellar and supernova remnant X-ray polarization led to the addition of X-ray polarimeters to ...

A dew detector for use with astronomical telescopes [PDF]
The design of a dew detector for use on astronomical telescopes is described. The sensing element for the detector is a piece of printed-circuit board etched with a grid pattern of metallic and nonmetallic areas. The sensor grid pattern is produced on the circuit board by photoetching from a positive contact-printing mask.

Josephson junction detector for astronomical applications [PDF]
A wide-band detector for the 1.0 to 1.6 mm atmospheric transmission window has been developed for astronomical observations at the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m optical telescope. For observations of continuum astronomical sources, the relevant figure of merit is the « Noise Equivalent Temperature » or δ Trms.
