| Abstract: | The two detectors of the ISOCAM camera on board the ISOspacecraft, have performed nominally for the entire duration ofthe emission. Their main properties (dark current, noise andresponsivity) stayed very stable from the first tests on groundto the end of the life of ISO, a 6 yr long period. The mainlimitation to the sensitivity of the observations came fromtransients in the signal delivered by the detectors, inducedeither by a change in the sources fluxes or by glitches. |
