This plot

This is the trending plot for the monitoring of the GIRAFFE detector noise parameters, derived from image flats. These data are taken about monthly.

This plot trends the contamination measurements. The image flat with the highest exposure time is taken, its flux is measured in the five windows marked in plot 2, and normalized to the center (meaning the central box has always intensity 1 in plot 3). If contamination builds up, the relative efficiency will go down. The GIRAFFE CCD has a typical contamination pattern, with the lower left corner showing the strongest effect. Its value is plotted red and emphasized by the connecting line.

A decontamination procedure should be applied when the red data start to approach the value 0.9.

Other QC parameters related to detector properties are trended in the same group.  


General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version. The latest date is indicated on top of the plot, data points belonging to that date are specially marked.

If configured,

  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow ( or )
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
