Characterization of back-illuminated complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor detector arrays for CASTOR

We seek to test the behaviour of candidate detectors for the proposed CASTOR space telescope. We are focused on the response to dim images, the behaviour when resetting portions of an image during exposure, and the behaviour when using multiple reads throughout an exposure to reduce the effect of random noise generated when reading the detector. We will do this by performing these readouts on the detectors when they are illuminated by a known light source under laboratory conditions in a cold vacuum chamber.
