Telescope Photometric Calibration :
SNDICE
/ SKYDICE
Construction
of Large Synoptic Survey Telescope see LSST (french site)
In collaboration with CFHT team in Hawaii, we are conducting an upgrade of SNDICE and and extensive study of Megacam camera using Sndice.
We are constructing SKYDICE an advanced Direct Illumination Calibration Experiment for the SKYMAPPER telescope to be installed on site this year.
We meet on every week and issue a Status Report.
List of PEOPLE
Instrumentation Program 2001-07
Supernova Integral Field Spectrometer (SNIFS)
Detector and electronics R&D for SNAP
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope R&D (LSST)
Telescope Photometric Calibration (SNDICE)
We have participated to the construction and the upgrade of instruments for our Supernova Cosmology program (SNIFS for SNF, SNDICE for SNLS) and undertaken detector and electronics R&D in view of the next generation of Supernova Cosmology instruments, leading us to construct:
- test benches CCD and IR tranfered to LSST; photometry transfered to SNDICE and SKYDICE (see above)
- ASICS and components
