Abstract
ABSTRACT A CCD camera system, called the BRICC, has been constructed and is in regular use at the MDM (Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT) Observatory. The CCD controller, which is a straightforward modification of a laboratory X-ray CCD system, is designed to operate Texas Instruments virtual-phase CCDs. The system includes two CCD camera heads: One currently houses a TI-4849 (584 x 390) virtual-phase CCD with excellent low-level charge-transfer properties, 9 electrons rms readout noise, and enhanced red response. The second contains a prototpe TI 850 x 750 virtual-phase CCD with 18 electrons rms readout noise. Details of this CCD system design and performance are described.
