... The time taken to read through a quadrant on the array sets a fundamental limit on the fastest electron collection rate which can be achieved by resetting all the pixels. An inherent consequence of the methods of operating the NICMOS array detectors in the ACCUM, MULTIACCUM, and RAMP modes is therefore that there is a minimum possible exposure time, ~ 0.6 seconds (0.302 for MULTIACCUM), set by the time required to read the array. ... Figure 15.1 illustrates the operation of bright object mode. ...

Minutes of OM Photometry Meeting Jan 10, 2000 at MSSL ==================================================== Attendees: Alice Breeveld, Igor Antokhine, Christopher Brindle, Jon Mittaz, Simon Rosen, Antonio Talavera, Rudi Much List of Actions: ================ a090101.1 Rudi: Redo colour transformation splitting the full range into colour intervals. ... It is needed to extend the colour transformation towards blue colours. ... The colour transfromation of hte main sequence are executed by default. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
