Transcribed Image Text:
1.a What is the focal scale (arcsec mm-¹) of a 20.6 m diameter telescope with an f-ratio of 2.0 ?
1.b How much would you have to bin a CCD with 10 μm pixels to have 2 super-pixels per FWHM
when the seeing is 1 arcsec (FWHM)? (The super-pixel is the binned pixel.)
2.a If the same 20.6 m diameter telescope is diffraction-limited in the near-infrared I' band (which
for purposes here you should assume has a central wavelength of λ = 1/1.22 μm), what is the image
diameter of a point-source? Express in arcsec, and also in pixels (again 10 μm pix-1).
2.b Calculate the same quantities at the diffraction-limit for an 0.206 m diameter telescope (about
8in in diameter) with the same f-ratio, pixel size, and wavelength.
3.a For sky-limited imaging of the same point-source at the diffraction limit, compute the relative
increase in S/N between an 2.06 m and 20.6 m diameter telescope with the same system efficiency,
f-ratio, and for the same exposure time. Look for simple scaling (please!).
3.b Repeat the calculation with the same conditions as before except for the detector-limited
regime, assuming the same detector (read-) noise and pixel size for both telescopes. Look for
simple scaling.
3.c Repeat the calculation in (3.a) in the sky-limited regime, but for (the same) seeing-limited
conditions. Look for simple scaling.
Does your answer change if you are able to re-bin the CCD before read-out?
3.d Repeat the calculation in (3.b) in the detector-limited regime, assuming the same detector
(read-) noise and pixel size, but for (the same) seeing-limited conditions, with no detector binning.
Look for simple scaling.
How does your answer change if you can re-bin the CCD before read-out such that there are
the same number of super-pixels sampling the seeing disk?
