摘要：

During the ground calibration of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) large scattered light haloes were identified in images of point sources and long slit spectral images at long wavelengths (>750 nm). The long wavelength scattering was traced to the SITe 1024x1024 CCD and its header package, raising concerns for the performance of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) CCD detectors. ACS is a third generation axial instrument for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and will be installed during the 1999 Servicing Mission. Two of the ACS imaging channels employ SITe CCDs, so the ACS team have conducted a study of the long-wavelength scattering, in collaboration with SITe, to assess the impact to the ACS science program and develop a solution. In this paper we discuss our solution, its implementation on ACS CCDs, and describe the results of initial tests.
