Imaging with a single detector - The Wyoming approach
Abstract
The computerized techniques currently employed at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory to obtain infrared photometric and imaging data are described. The techniques used for bolometers are described in detail. Methods used for other detector systems are sketched. The first-order reduction processes; removing background gradients, aligning and coadding images, and photometric calibration, are described in detail. Some of the more sophisticated means of processing images are outlined.
