Detailed description of the data product

Master Flat Calibration Pipeline result, using a series of flat calibration exposures to calculate a MasterFlat to be used in other ou-vis pipelines.

The product produces a Flagmap fits file same size as the Master PRNU whereby each pixel is a standard bit. The Master PRNU will set the bits for flagging hot and cold pixels. The Flagmap data format is defined in the data model here and is described in human-readable format here.

The product produces a LED Profile fits file same size as the Master PRNU, which quantifies the Illumination of the quadrant by the calibration unit LED.

Each pixel in a CCD has slightly different levels of response to light, due to manufacturing irregularities. The PRNU of a pixel is defined here as the level of responsiveness relative to its nearby neighbours, where the average is 1.0. The nearest neighbours have the highest weighting in this average. This weighting is implicit in the use of surface fitting to remove larger scale variations. Those variations include sky background, calibration LED illumination and shutter effects.

The PRNU model is stored as a 2-D image, not including prescan or overscan areas. PRNU is calibrated using a set of PRNU exposures, illuminated by an LED in the Calibration Unit which sits in front of the focal plane. FLat exposures have different fluence levels and used for different purposes in other pipelines.

When PRNU product is used during Correction, is a multiplicative effect, so the application of a correction involves simply dividing an image by the PRNU model.

The final product will be 144 extensions based on the quadrants with the EXTNAME noted as the CCDID, 2048x2066 pixels in ADU units.
