Cosmetic defects

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

Hot pixel

A hot pixel provides a signal of > 60 e- / pixel / hour.


Result: 13 hot points.

Very bright pixel

a very bright pixel provides a signal of > 200000 e-/pixel/hour


Result: 0 very bright pixel.

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: 1 dark pixels 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: 4 traps

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: 0 very large trap.


Very difficult to have this value at the moment due to a problem of shadow on the right corner.


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: 0 bad columns.

Here is a summary of cosmetic defects:
