Abstract:In this paper, we present the instrumental characterization and performance of the 4[Formula: see text]k CCD detector mounted on a 104-cm Sampurnanand telescope located at ARIES, Manora Peak Nainital, India. A detailed description of the filter wheel and its motion is presented. We measured the gain and read-out noise along with the linearity of the detector. Gain estimates are 5–10% higher than manufacturer values. The estimated read-out noise values do not fall within the manufacturer’s range. It is expected… Show more
