class VSPEC.params.observation.ccdParameters(pixel_sampling: int, read_noise: astropy.units.Quantity, dark_current: astropy.units.Quantity, throughput: float, emissivity: float, temperature: astropy.units.Quantity)#

Bases: BaseParameters

Class to store CCD parameters for observations.

Parameters:

  • pixel_sampling (int) – The pixel sampling of the CCD.

  • read_noise (astropy.units.Quantity) – The read noise of the CCD in electrons.

  • dark_current (astropy.units.Quantity) – The dark current of the CCD in electrons/second.

  • throughput (float) – The throughput of the CCD.

  • emissivity (float) – The emissivity of the CCD.

  • temperature (astropy.units.Quantity) – The temperature of the CCD.
