This plot

This is the Health Check plot to monitor the system efficiency of GIRAFFE. It is based on measurements of a flux standard star with the Argus IFU under photometric conditions. There are three settings taken with the low-resolution grating (L427.2, L543.1, L881.7) and three more with the high-resolution grating (H447.1A, H651.5B, H875.7). These data are taken approximately every month. Find a chromatic plot of these values here.

They are calibrated here with the robotic lamp flats. The flats are used only for the localization solution (required for the extraction). Contrary to the usual reduction, the extracted flat-field is not divided into the standard star spectrum, in order not to corrupt the efficiency calculation.

We display the QC1 parameter mean_effic which is the ratio of detected photons and the incident photons. The signal from all fibres (excluding SKY and SIMCAL) is combined and averaged.  


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
