AST3 detector properties

Bin Ma

AST3 are equipped with 10k x 10k frame transfer CCDs (STA1600FT). I will present the lab test results of the CCDs, including linearity, dark current, readout noise, etc. And I will discuss the nonlinear photon transfer curve of these CCDs, as well as its effects on photometry. At last I will show the current status of the CCDs at Dome A.
