This plot

This is the trending report for UVES QC parameters derived from standard star observations.
As per the Calibration Plan standard stars are observed for the purposes of 'Flux Calibration' with a frequency of approximately once per 3 days during Nighttime/twilight and for the purposes of 'Efficiency Monitoring' with a frequency of approximately once per 14 days during Nighttime. In both cases observations are made in 3 DICHR settings, DIC#1 346+580, DIC#1 390+564 and DIC#2 437+860 and in CCD readout mode 225kHz,1x1,low. Observations are made either with a 5 or 10 arcsec slit. The measured efficiency is then the maximum efficiency at from the center of an order closest to the central wavelength of the wavelength setting.
The individual plots describe:

  1. the measured efficiency for wavelength setting 346 taken with Dichr#1
  2. the measured efficiency for wavelength setting 390 taken with Dichr#1
  3. the measured efficiency for wavelength setting 437 taken with Dichr#2

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
