Abstract:
The detector of the Long Wavelength channel of the ISOCAM camera on-board
the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) presents systematic memory effects
of the response which can bias the photometry by a factor as high as 40
.
We show that, for uniform illumination,
the non linear model developed by [Fouks and Schubert
(1995)] for the detector of
PHT-S channel of the ISOPHOT instrument allows us to
describe the LW-ISOCAM response to
upward and downward steps of flux with an accuracy better than 1.
For each pixel of the detector, only two parameters have to be used.
These parameters are constant over the whole life of ISO.
On the other hand, spatial variations from pixel to pixel are significant.

We show that, for uniform illumination,
the non linear model developed by [Fouks and Schubert
(1995)] for the detector of
PHT-S channel of the ISOPHOT instrument allows us to
describe the LW-ISOCAM response to
upward and downward steps of flux with an accuracy better than 1.
For each pixel of the detector, only two parameters have to be used.
These parameters are constant over the whole life of ISO.
On the other hand, spatial variations from pixel to pixel are significant.
We present an inversion method of the Fouks-Schubert model. Without
any fitting and for low contrasted illumination, data are corrected with
a photometric accuracy of 
1,
which is typically ten times better
than previous methods. We suggest that the same approach could be used
for others ISO detectors, and in the future for other experiments.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
