The problem of quantum efficiency hysteresis (QEH) due to back-side charge accumulation has been reviewed in detail by Griffiths, et al. (1989), and Janesick and Elliot (1991). QEH is not present in the Loral CCDs, because they are front-side illuminated and incorporate MPP operation. ... The absence of QEH means that the devices do not need to be UV-flooded and so decontamination procedures are planned without the constraint of maintaining the UV-flood. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...
