VATT4k
STA0500A CCD
4064×4064 pixels, 15 microns
Gain = 1.9 e/DN
The full well is ADC limited (65k DN), so this is ~120,000 electrons.
Noise is ~3.9 electrons
Sensor is ITL sn8301
Updated 26-Jan-2018 MPL
A replacement STA0500A back illuminated 4K CCD, ITL serial number 8301, was installed March 2017, and updated 26 January 2018. It is similar to the September 2007 one, including
its QE.
pixel scale: 0.188 arcsec/pixel
wavelength range: 300 - 1000 nm, peak 96% at 450 nm
Preamplifiers added October 2008 inside the dewar. These give faster readout and lower noise.
