Recovering Swift - XRT energy resolution through CCD charge trap mapping
The X-ray telescope on board the Swift satellite for gamma-ray burst astronomy has been exposed to the radiation of the space environment since launch in November 2004. Radiation causes damage to the detector, with the generation of dark current and charge trapping sites that result in the degradation of the spectral resolution and an increase of the instrumental background. The Swift team has ...
متن کاملResponsivity mapping techniques for the non - positional CCD ; the swept charge device CCD 236
The e2v CCD236 is a swept charge device (SCD) designed as a soft X-ray detector for spectroscopy in the range 0.8 keV to 10 keV [1]. It benefits from improvements in design over the previous generation of SCD (the e2v CCD54) [2] to allow for increased detector area, a reduction in split X-ray events and improvements to radiation hardness [3]. To enable the suppression of surface dark current th...
متن کاملMagnetoelectric charge trap memory.
It is demonstrated that a charge-trapping layer placed in proximity to a ferromagnetic metal enables efficient electrical and optical control of the metal's magnetic properties. Retention of charge trapped inside the charge-trapping layer provides nonvolatility to the magnetoelectric effect and enhances its efficiency by an order of magnitude. As such, an engineered charge-trapping layer can be...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Mapping Using Ccd-line Camera and Laser Scanner with Integrated Position and Orientation System
The fusion of panoramic camera data with laser scanner data is a new approach and allows the combination of high-resolution image and depth data. Application areas are city modelling, computer vision and documentation of the cultural heritage. Panoramic recording of image data is realized by a CCD-line, which is precisely rotated around the projection centre. In the case of other possible movem...
متن کاملColor Super-Resolution from a Single CCD
Limitation in the resolution of CCD image sensors has provided motivation to enhance the resolution of images. Super-resolution has been applied mainly to grayscale images, and producing a high-resolution color image from a single CCD sensor has not been discussed thoroughly. This work aims at producing a high-resolution color image directly from ”color mosaic” images obtained by a singleCCD wi...
