Summary

This appendix provides a reading list covering the aspects of CCD development, research, and astronomical usage. There are so many articles, books, and journal papers covering the innumerable aspects of information on CCDs that the material presented in a book this size or any size can only cover a small fraction of the details of such work. Even the list presented here does not cover all aspects of interest concerning the use of CCDs in astronomy, but it does provide a very good starting point. The growth of information on CCDs has risen sharply over the past ten years and will, no doubt, continue to do so. Thus the student of CCD science must constantly try to keep up with the latest developments both in astronomy and within the field of opto-electronics, both areas where progess is being made. The internet is a powerful tool to help in this pursuit. Using a good search engine (e.g. Google) type in items such as “deep depletion,” or “L3CCD,” or “MIT/LL” and you'll get back many items of interest.

Much of the information on CCDs is contained in books devoted to the subject. Numerous SPIE, IEEE, and other conferences publish their proceedings in books as well. Detailed information is available in the scientific literature some of which we reference in this volume. Many refereed articles of interest are not listed here as they are easily searched for via web-based interfaces such as the Astrophysics Data System (ADS).
