Validation of Up‐the‐Ramp Sampling with Cosmic‐Ray Rejection on Infrared Detectors

We examine cosmic-ray rejection methodology on data collected from InSb and Si:As detectors. The application of an up-the-ramp sampling technique with cosmic-ray identification and mitigation is the focus of this study. This technique is valuable for space-based observatories which are exposed to high-radiation environments. We validate the up-the-ramp approach on radiation-test data sets with InSb and Si:As detectors which were generated for SIRTF. The up-the-ramp sampling method studied in this paper is over 99.9% effective at removing cosmic rays and preserves the structure and photometric quality of the image to well within the measurement error.
