NAME std_ifu.prg
VERSION 1.0 -- copied from science.prg (2005)
1.1 -- scoreQC included, qc_numsat (2009-06-24)
SYNTAX MIDAS
CALL processQC -a ab_name
INSTRUMENT GIRAFFE
RAWTYPE STD_IFU (IFU1/2 standard star)
PURPOSE compares raw and product STD files for FLAMES_GIRAFFE QC assessment; QC1 values are calculated, a QC1 plot is generated, displays are generated. The QC1 data are fed into the QC1 database.
PROCINPUT STD_RBNSPECTRA, EFFICIENCY_CURVE

box1:crosscut (middle row) through the raw file (red: mbias level); there should be a few fibres illuminated
box2:closeup raw file (columns 900-1100)
box3:mean signal, all fibres (middle row)
box4:integrated spectrum

full display of raw frame

std_ifu3.png
closeup of raw frame, a SIMCAL fibre should be visible

std_ifu4.png
reconstructed image with all 15 IFUs; one should have the STD star, the others are usually black

std_ifu5.png
fibre tracing plots (there are actually 4), with SKY and SIMCAL fibres marked in blue
QC1PARAM QC1_db names: num_fib | obs_targ_name | airmass | seeing | qc_numsat
FITS key names: PRO.SLIT.NFIBRES | OBS.TARG.NAME | TEL.AIRM.START/END | TEL.AMBI.FWHM.START/END | [calculated]
QC1 parameters calculated by the pipeline: qc_numsat
ALGORITHM qc_numsat: count all pixels > 60.000
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
- scoring alerts, in particular saturation
- no target visible in reconstructed image
COMMENTS Scoring: num_fib | qc_numsat
ABs fail if target not in catalog
section MARK_TRACINGS is called in science.prg
