{"product_id":"9780792336402","title":"New Developments in Array Technology and Applications","description":"IAU Symposium No. 167 brought together researchers who use CCDs  and arrays, designers and manufacturers of CCDs and Array Mosaics and  those who write the software to control these devices and to reduce  the large amounts of data contained in each frame.   At the meeting such topics as plans for applying the new technology to  the new large telescopes that have been built recently and those  planned in the near future, new developments in infrared arrays,  advances and concerns with the use of CCDs in photometry and  spectroscopy and the creation of large mosaics in photometry and  spectroscopy and the creation of large mosaics of chips which allow  larger areas of the sky to be covered in a single frame were  discussed.   There were sessions devoted to the following topics: New Developments  in CCD Technology; New Developments in IR Detector Arrays; Direct  Imaging with CCDs and Other Arrays; Spectroscopy with CCDs and Other  Arrays; and Large Field Imaging with Array Mosaics. Scientific results  of studies made with this technology were covered in the poster  sessions.   CCD and Array Detectors have become the detectors of choice at all the  world's optical observatories. Such instruments on small university  and college telescopes have turned these telescopes into instruments  that can now do observations which in the past were done only on the  largest telescopes. CCDs and Arrays are known as `the people's  detector' because of their ability to turn small telescopes into true  research instruments. On large telescopes observations can be made of  extremely faint and crowded objects that were impossible to observe  before the advent of CCD and Array technology.   The proceedings of this meeting will be useful to all those who are  interested in the design, manufacture and use of CCDs and Arrays for  astronomical observations.","brand":"A.G.
