QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: lambda_cent | dispersion | xcorr | lamp_eff | resolution | resol_fwhm |
temp_grat | num_overexp | level_overexp
ALGORITHM The recipe performs a cross-correlation between a catalog and the input frame and determines polynomial coefficients. It also calls a physical model that provides a wavelength map.
lambda_cent: central wavelength on each detector according to cross-correlation solution
dispersion: dispersion (nm/pix) from cross-correlation solution
xcorr: cross-correlation value; between 0.2 and 1.0 for a successful correlation; -1 means failure
lamp_eff: sum of pixel values in a small area around one fibre, backgound subtracted
resolution: spectral resolving power
resol_fwhm: average FWHM of arc lines in pixels
temp_grat: grating temperature
num_overexp: number of pixels with values above level_overexp
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
low cross-correlation (or failure) for a setting that can normally be well calibrated; for most standard settings, scoring is available on cross-correlation; there are also reference frames available for comparison
