This plot shows the relation between ABMAGLIM and the total exposure time for the MUSE datacube IDPs. The parameter ABMAGLIM is defined by the data products standard as limiting magnitude of the background and is essentially measuring the background noise.

The parameter is displayed in plot #1 for the SKY-based datacubes; in plot #2 for the OB-based final datacubes (SINGLE or COMBINED). The plot #2 has both the SINGLE and COMBINED datasets split into the ones with negative background due to crowded-field observations, and the "normal" ones with well-behaved background. The crowded-field observations have an over-subtracted background and therefore a negative bias on the ABMAGLIM values which is clearly visible on the plots.
