The fixed-pattern noise is computed in the following way: The
difference of two 100x100 sub-frames of the same master flat field
image is determined. These two sub-frames are are shifted with respect
to each other by 10 pixels in X- and Y-direction. The population
standard deviation of the difference frame, divided by the square root
of 2, minus the photon noise (geometrically subtracted) yields the
fixed-pattern noise, which is then divided by the median of the
respective region.

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 ↓)
