egg|laptop|egg: For more of a formal equation?
<egg|laptop|egg>
probably
<egg|laptop|egg>
mostly also I was AFK previously and appear to be here now
<egg|laptop|egg>
raptop: so I guess the question here is whether it is feasible/sane to compute a temperature-dependent threshold of energy received from the target above which the target is detected
<WeylandsWings>
I mean isnt that going to be mainly a function of the sensor dark noise vs temperature curve?
<raptop>
Possibly. I'm not 100% clear on the limits for IR sensors
<raptop>
Like, IRAC channels 1&2 (and WISE W1 and W2) play nice at 70-80 K, but the longer wavelengths needed single digit Kelvins as best I'm aware?
<raptop>
The OST PDF has some discussion on sensitivity vs temperature, I think, but this is far enough outside of my subfield that I'm not quite sure what questions to ask

Definition added!
<raptop>
There's the "you can go out to ~1 μm with silicon anyway" aspect. ...I guess looking at some of the tradeoffs for HST and Roman's IR might also be useful, since I think they're fairly warm?
<raptop>

<raptop>
Well, they mention actual sensitivity in some cases, but I'm not seeing anything vs temperature that I could use to generalize >_>;;
<egg|laptop|egg>
right I see Representative Sensitivity 5σ in 1 hr
<egg|laptop|egg>
sometimes in Janskys, sometimes in Watts per square metre,
<raptop>
Yeah. Also at specified wavelengths
<egg|laptop|egg>
also saturation limits which I guess tells us what you cannot look at with a given instrumnet
<raptop>
...those graphs could in fact be a way to handwave a bunch of stuff?
<raptop>
Yeah
<raptop>
Also cannot look at for a single eggsposure
<egg|laptop|egg>
though I don’t know how that generalizes to very different instruments
<egg|laptop|egg>
e.g. the 30 mm EUV imager on STEREO
<egg|laptop|egg>
how many Janskys does it get
<raptop>
Would vary with frequecy. I want to say that EUV is a pretty weak (and expoentially falling off) continuum with a lot of emission features?
<egg|laptop|egg>
ah no it is the coronarographs that are 30ish mm
<egg|laptop|egg>
the EUV thingy is 98
<raptop>
Not sure if they're more lines or contiuumish from curvature radiation
<galois>
raptop: Your options: synchrotorn, thermal. My choice: synchrotorn
<egg|laptop|egg>
Detector Performance: A 2k x 2k HgCdTe detector array operated at 30 K is used in each of the MISC-T-S and T-M channels and a 2k x 2k Si:As detector array operated at ~7 K is used in MISC-T-L. The detector dark current is assumed to be 1.0 e-sec-1pixel-1 for the 2k × 2k HgCdTe detector and 0.2 e-sec-1pixel-1 for the 2k×2k Si:As detector.
<raptop>
yay, mercads
<WeylandsWings>
adafruit is reminding me why i dont like DIYing electrical projects
<WeylandsWings>
purchased a LED ring and the recommended power supply, thing is really bright which i want, but heats up by 76 F (24.4 C) in 10 mins of use. I had wanted to use this ring in a project that would be on wither 24/7 or most of a work day...
<egg|laptop|egg>
raptop: mercads?
<WeylandsWings>
and that temp rise was when it was sitting on my desk running in the open air. i wanted to to put it in a 3d printed box which would have trapped the heat (and started melting as after 10 mins it was 152 F (66 C) )
<WeylandsWings>
egg|laptop|egg: mercury cadmium
<WeylandsWings>
type of IR detector
<egg|laptop|egg>
ah
<WeylandsWings>
other common ones are HgCdTe
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah this says HgCdTe
<egg|laptop|egg>
(mercadtel?)
<WeylandsWings>
you can also use uBolometers but those have other issues
<raptop>
somethign like that
<raptop>
also InSb for something
<raptop>
ah, near IR
<egg|laptop|egg>
Detector Performance: Detector Dark Current is assumed to be 0.06 esec-1pixel-1 for the Si:As 2k × 2k detector
<WeylandsWings>
the light inside is from a LED ring I purchased from Adafruit which heats up by 76 F in 10 mins of use, which is obviously less than ideal
<WeylandsWings>
why thank you
<WeylandsWings>
so yeah maybe a sacrifice to the electrical pixies might have allowed me to get a ring that actually works and that isnt a massive fire hazard
<WeylandsWings>
Iike something must be very wrong in the ring to cause a 76 F temp raise in 10 mins of operation on a 9V 1A source (which is the recommended power supply for the ring)
<WeylandsWings>
and I really dont want to have to modify the project to include a cooling fan and a radioator on the ring
<WeylandsWings>
as I dont have Space for it in the base and while the full version is a bit taller, i dont want to make it that much taller to fit the extra components (which i dont think i should need at all)
<WeylandsWings>
so yeah that is what I am working on and possibly being an idiot about
<raptop>
grats
<WeylandsWings>
(oh also please ignore the massive hole and the weirdness in the lettering, that was a failed attempt at a lithopane like back lighting for the words and a symbol, see image below)
<egg|laptop|egg>
raptop: that table 4.2 is definitely looking eggsponential and not T^4
<egg|laptop|egg>
the slope is not consistent with blackbody radiation at sensor temperature integrated over the wavelength ranges of the instrument though, so simple eggsplanations are too simple
<egg|laptop|egg>
(seems to behave like ~3 micron blackbody radiation, but that instrument goes from lyman α to one micron)
<raptop>
...maxwell-boltzmann distribution with a tail kicking electrons into the well?
<egg|laptop|egg>
what do you mean
<raptop>
hrm. Probably very wrong for atomic oscillations
<egg|laptop|egg>
well, very wrong is not a problem if the cheesy is close enough
<raptop>
urgh, I don't remember enough statmech to recall what the phonons would do
<egg|laptop|egg>
my "dark current is the sensor looking at itself as a black body" sadly does not work close enough,
<raptop>
If the sensor's wavelength range is much bluer than the peak, the shape should be right (eggsponential)
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
but the wavelength range determines the slope, as well
<egg|laptop|egg>
and for WFPC2, that goes only to one micron
<egg|laptop|egg>
and the slope is only vaguely similar if you go to two or three microns
<egg|laptop|egg>
I guess we could make that a fudge coefficient
<raptop>
hrm
<egg|laptop|egg>
raptop: the advantage of going for blackbody radiation is that you should naturally get the utter unusability mode, if the sensor gets to temperatures that blackbody radiate where it looks
<egg|laptop|egg>
... though I guess you would get something even sillier where it would start working better if you heat it enough,
<raptop>
Nah, blackbodies don't work like that.
<raptop>
Luminosity at every wavelength increases monotonically with temperature
<egg|laptop|egg>
ah yeah that tail is chonk
<egg|laptop|egg>
right
<egg|laptop|egg>
hm
<egg|laptop|egg>
are you aware of other similar tables for other instruments in other wavelength ranges than alpha-to-one-micron?
<egg|laptop|egg>
to see if the shitty model falls on its face elsewhere
<raptop>
No, though I'd be tempted to google around for WISE and especially Spitzer
<egg|laptop|egg>
"phonons arent real," i assure myself as i close my eyes and ram the CCD with my shitty blackbody radiation model
<raptop>
What fool called it a missile with a thermobaric warhead, and not a phonon torpedo?
