QC1 parameters

parameter QC1 database: table, name procedure
rms vimos_skyflat, sigma_master standard deviation of the 1600x1800 central pixels of the normalised master flat
structure vimos_skyflat, structure The rms of the master can be seen as the combination of large-scale structure and noise components. The difference between the master and the master itself shifted by 10x10 pixels is computed from which the variance of the 1600x1800 central pixels is determined (corrected by factor 2). This is the combination of fixed-pattern noise and photon noise. It is quadratically subtracted from the total standard deviation.
