| DESCRIPTION |
POETS is optimized for occultation and related observations. The core of this systemis the Andor Technology DV-887 (now DU-897) frame-transfer camera, featuring a highframe rate, minimal dead time, high quantum efficiency, and low read noise. The POETSworks with a compact GPS timing system with microsecond accuracy, and ahigh-performance computer system capable of sustained fast frame rates.The camera has 16 micron square pixels in a 512 x 512 format. Its read noise andfull-frame readout rate range from 6 electrons/pixel and 3 Hz in conventional mode toless than 1 electrons/pixel and greater than 30 Hz in electron-multiplying (EM) mode.More information can be found in the literature: Souza, S.
