NAME kmos_std.py
VERSION 1.0 -- October 2013
1.0.1 -- change order of plots (2013-10-22)
1.0.2 -- ingest FWHM of PSF in QC1 database (2013-11-12)
1.0.3 -- only ingest throughput values from observatory standards (2013-11-18)
1.0.4 -- usage of qc_imaovw instead of kmos_ifudsp (2014-01-28)
1.0.5 -- usage of argparse module (2014-03-10)
1.0.6 -- allow 60.A-9452(A) also as observatory STD for re-processing (2015-04-29)

std1.png
extracted and normalized spectrum from all 24 IFUs;
only three IFUs are used in a typical observing sequence
std2.png
reconstructed images for all 24 IFUs
std3.png
top: first raw frame for detectors 1, 2, and 3
bottom: histograms of raw frames
std4.png
One plot per IFU (if IFU is used in the observation)
top: normalized flux spectrum and associated errors
bottom: extracted flux spectrum and associated errors
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: num_stars | saturated | saturation_level | through_mean | through_stddev |
throughput_ifu01 | ... | throughput_ifu24 |
zeropoint_ifu01 | ... | zeropoint_ifu24 |
psf_fwhm_ifu01 | ... | psf_fwhm_ifu24
ALGORITHM num_stars: number of standard stars in exposure sequence
saturated: largest number of saturated pixels on one detector
saturation_level: threshold used for saturation through_mean: throughput everaged over all active IFUs
through_stddev: standard deviation of throughput values
throughput_ifun: throughput for IFU n
zeropoint_ifun: zeropoint for IFU n
psf_fwhm_ifun: average FWHM of PSF in reconstructed image for IFU n
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
underexposed or overexposed frames
