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.


Result: Eighteen hot points.


On our images these points are to the coordinates:

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: See the section bad column. We have three very large trap.


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: Three bad columns:
