zeropoints from all identified stars in the observed field, compared to average
stdimg2.png
reduced frame, identified stars are marked
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: num_stars | zp_frame | sig_zp_frame | ext_coeff_used | col_term_used | colour
All parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe.
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
num_stars: number of stars used in zeropoint computation
zp_frame: averaged gain-corrected zeropoint of frame (in e-);
averaging uses biweight estimator from Beers et al. 1990, AJ 100, 32
sig_zp_frame: error of frame zeropoint
ext_coeff_used: fixed value
col_term_used: fixed value
colour: colour used
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
instrumental failure like shutter problems
COMMENTS trending uses zeropoints for complete night which are calculated from all available fields for each filter and are stored into QC1 DB table vimos_zp_night
