Characterization of Low Light Performance of a CMOS sensor for Ultraviolet Astronomical Applications

Autor: Greffe, Timothee, Smith, Roger, Sherman, Myles, Harrison, Fiona, Earnshaw, Hannah, Grefenstette, Brian, Hennessy, John, Nikzad, Shouleh

CMOS detectors offer many advantages over CCDs for optical and UV astronomical applications, especially in space where high radiation tolerance is required. However, astronomical instruments are most often designed for low light-level observations de
