SerialTrap

class lsst.ip.isr.SerialTrap(size, emission_time, pixel, trap_type, coeffs)

Bases: object

Represents a serial register trap.

Parameters

sizefloat

Size of the charge trap, in electrons.

emission_timefloat

Trap emission time constant, in inverse transfers.

pixelint

Serial pixel location of the trap, including the prescan.

trap_typestr

Type of trap capture to use. Should be one of linear, logistic, or spline.

coeffslist [float]

Coefficients for the capture process. Linear traps need one coefficient, logistic traps need two, and spline based traps need to have an even number of coefficients that can be split into their spline locations and values.

Raises

ValueError

Raised if the specified parameters are out of expected range.

Methods Documentation

capture(pixel_signals)

Trap capture function.

Parameters

pixel_signalslist [float]

Input pixel values.

Returns

captured_chargelist [float]

Amount of charge captured from each pixel.

Raises

RuntimeError

Raised if the trap type is invalid.

initialize(ny, nx, prescan_width)

Initialize trapping arrays for simulated readout.

Parameters

nyint

Number of rows to simulate.

nxint

Number of columns to simulate.

prescan_widthint

Raised if the trap falls outside of the image.

release_charge()

Release charge through exponential decay.

Returns

released_chargefloat

Charge released.

trap_charge(free_charge)

Perform charge capture using a logistic function.

Parameters

free_chargefloat

Charge available to be trapped.

Returns

captured_chargefloat

Amount of charge actually trapped.
