This plot

This report hosts correlation plots for the monitoring of the GIRAFFE linearity and gain, derived from image flats. These data are taken about monthly. Since 2008-07, they are acquired with the common detector monitoring template and reduced with the corresponding common recipe.

Note the CCD upgrade between 2008-03 and 2008-05. Plots #3 and 4 are available for the new CCD only.

A sequence of image flats is exposed between 0.5 and 220 secs. Their average exposure level is plotted against the exposure time (box 1). The fitted function corresponds to mean = 245*exptime for the old CCD, and 195*exptime for the new CCD. In box 3, non-linear residuals are plotted vs. exposure time (new CCD only).

PLot 4 (for the new CCD only) shows the GAIN values plotted over exposure time. The asymptotic value for texp -> 0 is the true GAIN. The value stored in the file headers is indicated as "nominal".

Find the trending of non-linearity coefficient and gain here.  


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
