In the telescopes they produce amazing astronomical images. The CCD camera is a very important tool in astronomy because of its high quantum efficiency at different wavelength range. Before using any scientific instruments for scientific observation it must be characterized. So, in order to understand the detectors better we need to verify different intrinsic properties of the CCD (how counts vary with temperature and at different combination of R/O Speed, Gain, Binning and also to check linearity of this CCD). CCDs come in various sizes and shapes and are manufactured by a number of companies around the globe. Here we are presenting the characterization of the PyLoN 1300B CCD from Princeton Instrument, USA. The main aim of this work is to characterize this CCD before being installled in the focal plane of 104cm Sampurnanand Telescope at ARIES, Manora Peak, Nainital. |
