Hst Proposal Id #9310

Scientific paper

The data from this new proposal will allow an assessment of the effect of a super-preflash, such as the one suggested by Janesick {Scientific Charge-Coupled Devices, James R. Janesick, SPIE Press Monograph, 2001}, on the CTE performance of WFPC2. Previous WFPC2 preflash calibration programs have successfully tested the effects of relatively low preflashes {or fat zeros} on the CTE, in order to determine the optimum level at which the CTE problems are minimized. Typical preflash exposures from these proposals added 50-10000 electrons. However, in his new book, Janesick {2001} suggests that radiation-induced traps can not be completely eliminated with low-level preflashes, that such a preflash merely exposes the incoming photons to new traps. Instead, he recommends the use of a light flood, effectively super-preflashing the chips to levels 2-3 times full well, reading out the preflash, then taking external images.
