Abstract: The calculation of flux upper limits in the source-free ("background") regions of photon-limited images is complicated by instrumental and statistical modeling and requires non-trivial computational effort. ... The principal component in this is the time taken to pre-process and handle the 30 GB of RASS data rather than the calculation of each upper limit. ...

. Better satellite instruments are improving measurements of solar energy reaching Earth. Exactly determining the contribution of solar fluctuations to rising global temperature is expected to become possible as new instruments, such as the Total Irradiance Monitor above, further refine solar measurements. The device is scheduled to launch next month on NASA's Glory spacecraft. NASA

... Anticipated Radiation Effects . ... Various radiation effects can be anticipated, based on similarities to other CMOS devices. ... Total dose radiation effects in CMOS devices can be divided into two broad classes: charge trapping and interface state generation. ... When interface states are located in a depletion region, they act as sources of dark current. Increased dark current is expected to be the dominant radiation effect in active pixel sensors, leading to increased shot noise. ...
