Data Description:

Processing method

By comparing stellar fluxes from a set of widely dithered images, a large-scale illumination correction is calculated. This calibration removes simultaneously the large-scale non-uniformity present in the NI-CU beam (CALPRODUCT-NI-010: NISP LED Flats) as well as any vignetting effects from the telescope and instrument optics (NI-CU illuminates the focal plane array directly, without passing through any optics).

Processing output

Large-scale flats for the YJH filters. Trend analysis

Required accuracy, constraints

Processing tools
