Crosstalk in multi-output CCDs for LSST

Abstract

LSST's compact, low power focal plane will be subject to electronic crosstalk with some unique signatures due to its readout geometry. This note describes the crosstalk mechanisms, ongoing characterization of prototypes, and implications for the observing cadence.Comment: Accepted by Journal of Instrumentation, proceedings of 2014 Precision Astronomy with Fully-Depleted CCD
