General news: NOTE: The Health Check and calChecker services are moved to qcFlow on an instrument by instrument basis. The current pages will not be updated any longer once the move has been finished.
SPHERE news: Note that the current Health Check monitor runs with an incomplete pipeline and an incomplete set of QC1 parameters. QCG can currently not guarantee completeness and significance at the usual level.

This plot

This plot shows the resolving power.

The spectral resolution (resolving power) R = Lambda / DeltaLambda as calculated by the pipeline and stored in the QC1 DB is given 'per sigma'. These values are divided by 2.3548 ( = FWHM / sigma = 2 sqrt( 2 ln(2) ) ) for the plot to be expressed in 'per FWHM'  

General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.

If configured,

  • data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow (↑ or ↓)
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
