QC1 parameters

  • dark current averaged over frame (e-/px/hr) (QC1 database table fors1_dark, column dark_avg)
    This is the median level of the master dark, normalized per pixel and hour and converted into electrons.
  • error of average dark current (e-/px/hr) (QC1 database table fors1_dark, column sigma_dark_avg)
    As the error of the dark current is dominated by the read-out noise, it is calculated from the read-out noise provided in the header, scaled with the exposure time (as it is normalized to 1 hour).
