  1. Adding TDI mode to PRISM Li Zeng Advisor: Brian Taylor Jan.25, 2008

  2. Outline • What is TDI mode? • 72” Perkins Telescope and PRISM • Photon Transfer Curve of PRISM Read Noise, Gain, Full Well Capacity of PRISM • CCD images taken in TDI mode on Perkins: M77, M78, IC 434, NGC 2301 • Acknowledgements

  3. What is TDI mode? • Time Delay Integration on CCD • CCD reads out at the same speed the image of the sky sweeps on the focal plane of telescope Star Mirror CCD
