ABSTRACT:The detector of the long wavelength channel of the ISOCAM camera on-board the Infrared Space Observatory is a Gallium doped Silicon
photo-conductor hybridized by Indium bump.
It presents systematic memory effects of
the response which can bias the photometry by a factor of typically
40%.
The main features of the response after flux variations are discussed.
A
simple empirical model actually used to correct systematically the data with
a photometric accuracy of 5-10% is detailed.
