QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: saturated_n | ar_eff_n | ne_eff_n |
ar_fwhm_mean_n | ar_fwhm_stddev_n | ne_fwhm_mean_n | ne_fwhm_stddev_n |
ar_pos_mean_n | ar_pos_maxdiff_n | ar_pos_maxdiff_id_n | ar_pos_stddev_n |
ne_pos_mean_n | ne_pos_maxdiff_n | ne_pos_maxdiff_id_n | ne_pos_stddev_n |
rot_angle_n, with n = 0, 1, ..., 6.
KMOS waves are usually taken at six different rotator angles. These fill the QC parameters n = 1, ..., 6. The actual angles can be found in rot_angle_n. n = 0 is reserved for the measurement at 0 degree rotator angle.
ALGORITHM saturated_n: number of saturated pixels
ar_eff_n: flux in e-/s of Ar lamp
ne_eff_n: flux in e-/s of Ne lamp
ar_fwhm_mean_n: mean FWHM of Ar lines [km/s]
ar_fwhm_stddev_n: standard deviation of FWHM of Ar lines [km/s]
ne_fwhm_mean_n: mean FWHM of Ne lines [km/s]
ne_fwhm_stddev_n: standard deviation of FWHM of Ne lines [km/s]
ar_pos_mean_n: mean position offset of Ar lines [km/s]
ar_pos_maxdiff_n: maximum deviating mean position offset of Ar lines [km/s]
ar_pos_maxdiff_id_n: IFU ID with maximum deviating mean position offset
ar_pos_stddev_n: mean standard deviation of position offsets [km/s]
ne_pos_mean_n: mean position offset of Ne lines [km/s]
ne_pos_maxdiff_n: maximum deviating mean position offset of Ne lines [km/s]
ne_pos_maxdiff_id_n: IFU ID with maximum deviating mean position offset
ne_pos_stddev_n: mean standard deviation of position offsets [km/s]
rot_angle_n: rotator angle
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
low flux of arc-lamp lines
