The paper reports the design, commissioning on two runs, and measured performance of proto-Lightspeed, a seeing-limited high-speed imager delivering sub-electron read noise on the Magellan Clay Telescope.
50 nm and 100 nm aluminum coatings on skipper-CCDs suppress optical light by more than 99.6 percent from 650 to 1000 nm with no efficiency loss for 5.9 and 6.4 keV X-rays.
Develops and validates a model for small charge packet transport in high-resistivity CCDs using a new depth-dependent lateral spread measurement technique and an extended diffusion algorithm.
