Nod-and-Shuffle (N&S) Technique

 Basic principle:



(1) expose on object





shuffle charge down,

(2)

nod telescope to sky



(3) expose on sky



shuffle charge up,

(4)

nod telescope to object



(5) expose on object



etc...

shifted “down”

by 80 pixels,

optionally scaled

Case study: N&S with Tobj = Tsky





before sky subtraction after sky subtraction









 N&S disadvantages:  N&S advantages:

 Increased noise (√2)  Excellent sky line

removal

 Less time on object

(sky integrations)  Identical optical path

and pixels, no time lag

see Glazebrook & Bland-Hawthorn 2001

Case study: N&S with Tobj = Tsky



 Bias subtraction

 Interesting alternative: Implicit bias subtraction in N&S



(Cbias + Cdark + Csky + Cobj) - Tobj/Tsky * (Cbias + Cdark + Csky)





 Generic N&S bias problem in the central slice



corresponding sky slice



one object slice falls

partly on upper and

lower amplifiers

 Cross-talk on the 0.001% to 0.01% level



More complicated in case of saturation!
