Development and test of an IR camera for astronomical observation at the Palomar 200-inch observatory using the NICMOS II array

摘要

Abstract: A NICMOS II Array has been integrated into the California Institute of Technology's Palomar Observatory Camera. Using commercially available electronics and custom software, the camera has been fully tested and characterized. The PC-based system has been successfully used for astronomical observations at the 5-m Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory. Performance and calibration data are given.!7
