This plot

This is the trending report for monitoring UVES Resolution based on QC parameters derived from wavelength calibration frames (WAVE_ECH). It trends the measured resolution in the Health Check calibrations which are taken in one BLUE (437nm) and one RED (580nm) setting. It also displays a comparison of measured resolutions to the nominal values.

The lower thresholds of plots 1-3 are set to the nominal expected resolution minus 10%. Therefore results below these thresholds should be investigated closely.

The individual plots describe:

  1. measured resolution for the BLUE 437.0nm, 1x1, 0.4 arcs slit
  2. measured resolution for the REDL chip of the 580.0nm, 1x1, 0.3 arcs slit
  3. measured resolution for the REDU chip of the 580.0nm, 1x1, 0.3 arcs slit
  4. measured resolution as a function of slit-width for all BLUE 437.0nm, 1x1 data
  5. measured resolution as a function of slit-width for all REDL 580.0nm, 1x1 data
  6. measured resolution as a function of slit-width for the REDU 580.0nm, 1x1 data
In black: calculated values from the User Manual. Find more information about UVES wavelength solution monitoring here.  
General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

If applicable, the latest values from Paranal ops logs are plotted as blue dots. More information about those values, including a download option, is available in the OPS column.

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
