QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB muse_flat names: flat_intflux | flat_median | flat_mean | flat_stdev | flat_min | flat_max | flat_nsaturated | flat_slice1/../48_mean | flat_slice1/../48_stdev | ntracetable
QC1 DB muse_tracetable names: trace_gaps_max | trace_gaps_median | trace_gaps_mean | trace_gaps_stdev | trace_gaps_min | trace_wid_max | trace_wid_median | trace_wid_mean | trace_wid_stdev | trace_slice_l_tilt | trace_slice_l_xpos | trace_slice_r_tilt | trace_slice_r_xpos
Most parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe; ntracetable in qc script
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
muse_lampflat qc1 database table:
flat_intflux: flux integrated over the whole master flat before normalization
flat_median: median of the master lampflat before normalization
flat_mean: mean of the master lampflat before normalization
flat_stdev: standard deviation of the master lampflat before normalization
flat_min: minimum value of the master lampflat before normalization
flat_max: maximum value of the master lampflat before normalization
flat_nsaturated: number of saturated pixels in output data
flat_slice1/../48_mean: mean value around vertical center of slice1/../48 before normalization
flat_slice1/../48_stdev: standard deviation around vertical center of slice1/../48 before normalization
ntracetable: number of trace tables created
Description of algorithms:
muse_tracetable qc1 database table:
trace_gaps_max: maximum gap between slices
trace_gaps_median: median of gaps between slices
trace_gaps_stdev: median of gaps between slices
trace_wid_max: maximum width of slices
trace_wid_median: median width of slices
trace_wid_stdev: median width of slices
trace_slice_l_tilt: tilt of leftmost slice measured as angle from vertical direction
trace_slice_l_xpos: location of midpont of leftmost slice
trace_slice_r_tilt: tilt of rightmost slice measured as angle from vertical direction
trace_slice_r_xpos: location of midpont of rightmost slice
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
unusual high/low lampflat level, not all 24 tracetables created
