QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
crires_std: spec_pos | fwhm_spec | fwhm_profile | fwhm_diff | measured_iq | expected_iq | med_through | med_s2n
crires_sci: spec_pos | fwhm_spec | fwhm_profile | fwhm_diff | measured_iq | expected_iq | med_s2n
ALGORITHM spec_pos: average position of spectrum on each detector
fwhm_spec: median FWHM of the spectrum (cross-dispersion direction)
fwhm_profile: median FWHM of the profile that is used in optimal extraction
fwhm_diff: difference between fwhm_profile and fwhm_spec
measured_iq: fwhm_spec * pixel_scale (0.086 arcsec/pixel)
expected_iq: DIMM seeing corrected for airmass, telescope diameter, and wavelength
med_through: median throughput (e-/photon), only if tabulated standard star flux is known
med_s2n: median signal-to-noise ratio of the extracted spectra
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
Science products are normally not rejected; comments are written in case of unsuccessful extraction
COMMENTS The same procedure is used for standard star and science exposures.
