  • Instrument Interpretive Drift
    • in astronomical photometry (detector sensitivity drifting across years even at constant stated specification),

      This sourceDocuments detector sensitivity drift over years in Hubble ACS CCD cameras at constant stated specification, corrected by repeated re-measurement against fixed white-dwarf flux standards — the photometric frozen-reference analogue.

      Bohlin measures a steady sensitivity loss of about 0.061% per year in every Hubble ACS CCD filter after 2009, traced to outgassing, and corrects for it in the calibration.

      “The robust set of new post-SM4 data reve als a sensitivity loss for all filters of 0.061%/yr, so that by 2017, the change in sensitivity will reach 0.5% from the time of the 2009 SM4.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
