QC1 parameters

• remnance (QC1 database table xshooter_dark, column remnance)
  gives the difference in flux between the redmost order and the area to its right. If above 5 there is a good chance to see remnants from previous high level exposures.

QC1 parameters

• dark_med (QC1 database table xshooter_dark, column median_dark)
  gives the median level of the master dark.

History

• 2011-07-07 NIR intervention

QC1 parameters

• dark_rms (QC1 database table xshooter_dark, column sigma_dark)
  gives the rms of the master dark (excluding bad pixels)

History

• 2011-07-07 NIR intervention
• 2010-09-19 - 2010-10-07 typo in pipeline; computation of dark_rms changed , values removed from QC1 database
• 2010-06-01 new pipeline version (1.0.0); dark_rms calculated correctly now; results from older versions erased from QC1 database

QC1 parameters

• cosmic_rate (QC1 database table xshooter_dark, column cosmic_rate)
  gives the number of detected cosmic ray hits per second and surface unit (cm²)

History

• 2010-09-19 - 2010-10-07 typo in pipeline; computation of cosmic_rate affected, values removed from QC1 database
• 2010-02-01 new pipeline version; cosmic_rate calculated slightly differently

QC1 parameters

• fpn_norm (QC1 database table xshooter_dark, columns fp_norm)
  gives the fixed pattern of the master dark normalized to 1sec exposure time

History

• 2010-09-19 - 2010-10-07 typo in pipeline; computation of fpn affected, values removed from QC1 database
