2009-08-10: PASP
article: Extreme faint flux imaging with an EMCCD
The CCCP controller and a CCD97 were mounted in a scientific camera.
The first scientific results, obtained at the 1.6-m telescope of the Observatoire du mont
Mégantic, are presented in a PASP
paper.

2009-01-12: A code
to
determine the gain of an EMCCD from dark frames
An IDL routine is available to determine accurately the gain of an
EMCCD by the processing of dark frames taken at high electron
multiplying gain.

2008-07-01: CCCP, A CCD
Controler for
Counting Photons
CCCP, a CCD Controller for Counting Photons was presented at the
Marseille's SPIE 2008 conference on Astronomical Instrumentation. This
novel CCD controller allows the Clock Induced Charges to be greatly
reduced. The paper presents data gathered with a CCD97 EMCCD (by e2v
Technologies).

2008-01-21: New version of the FP data
reduction package
A new version of the FP data reduction package is available, together
with an improved GUI. A Windows version of the GUI is now available.
The latest versions of both the GUI and the reduction routines are 5.03.

 A GUI to
process your FP data
There is now a GUI to help you process your FP data. It allows to enter
the observation/data reduction parameters. You don't have to use ADHOCw
anymore...
This package is built using the QT
portable libraries. It has been tested under Mac OSX and Linux. It
allows to set-up the adp file used to configure the data reduction
process. It can also be used to launch the data reduction itself.

 FP Data
reduction package
A data reduction package is available to process your data using IDL.
It works under the following architectures: Mac OSX, Linux and Windows.
This package was tested with data coming from an Image Photon Counting
System based on an photomultiplicator tube and a Fabry-Perot etalon
(such as FaNTOmM).
Many galaxies samples were observed and reduced with this package (BHαBAR, Virgo, SINGS) |
