Issue Date: | 2017 | First Page: | 707 | Abstract: | The evident benefits of Electron Multiplying CCDs (EMCCDs) -speed, high sensitivity, low noise and their capability of detecting single photon events whilst maintaining high quantum efficiency- are bringing these kinds of detectors to many state-of-the-art astronomical instruments (Velasco et al. 2016; Oscoz et al. 2008). The EMCCDs are the perfect answer to the need for great sensitivity levels as they are not limited by the readout noise of the output amplifier, while conventional CCDs are, even when operated at high readout frame rates. Here we present a quantitative on-sky method to calibrate EMCCD detectors dedicated to astronomical imaging, developed during the commissioning process (Velasco et al. 2016) and first observations (Ricci et al. 2016, in prep.) with Wide FastCam (Marga et al. 2014) at Telescopio Carlos Sánchez (TCS) in the Observatorio del Teide. | Conference Name: | XII Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society | Conference Place: | Bilbao, Spain | Conference Date: | 18 – 22 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26830 | URL: | https://www.sea-astronomia.es/sites/default/files/archivos/proceedings12/instrumentacion/POSTERS/velascos1_abs.pdf https://www.sea-astronomia.es/publicaciones/proceeding |
