Oral presentation (20 minute) Detector Modeling Sensors for Nancy Grace Roman

Speaker

Description

HAWAII-4RG (H4RG) detectors will provide a substantial portion of the scientific output for both the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) and the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) on the Subaru Telescope. In the first half of this talk, I will present my work from the last few years on modeling detector-level effects present in Roman's flight candidates. Specifically, I focus on how these effects are expected to impact Roman's cosmic shear analyses. In the second half of this talk, I will present ongoing work to measure and characterize the noise properties of PFS H4RG-15s.
