Cosmetic defects

In this section we expose the hot pixel, the dark pixel, the trap and the very large trap we found and how.

Hot pixel

A hot pixel provides a signal of > 60 e- / pixel / hour. To find them we use a median dark image. We take the median of the image and to find the hot point we add the mean in (e- / pixel / hour) plus the limit (60 e- / pixel / hour). All the pixel which have a value upper than this limits are considered as hot pixel. I repeat this manipulation with two other median filter to confirm the results


Result: six hot points.


On our images these points are to the coordinates:

X= 1348; Y= 1477

X= 0281; Y= 2315

Table 5: Position and images of the hot pixels.

Dark pixel

A dark pixel is one with 50% or less than the average output for uniform intensity light level, measured with a flat field level around 500 photo-electrons.


Result: No dark pixel detected.

Trap

A trap is defined as a pixel that captures more than 10 electrons, measured with a flat field level around 500 photo-electrons.


Result: Not available

Very large trap

A very large trap is defined as a pixel that captures more than 10 000 electrons, measured with a flat field level around 90% of full well capability.


Result:


On our images this point is to the coordinates:

Bad column

A bad column is 10 or more contiguous hot or dark pixels in a single column or a very bright pixel or a very large trap.


Result: One bad column was detected in the section Very large trap. The coordinate are X= 895; Y= 2543.
