- Working out how much background for each pixel
- Plotted a histogram of number of photoelectrons against the frequency for a 0.1s exposure in the dark frame which follows a Gaussian distribution
- Number of photoelectrons = pixel value (ADU) * Gain
- Gain = 2.3 e/ADU (value from PH2900 report)
- From the histogram I will obtain the value at the peak and the error from the FWHM
- Error in the peak = FWHM/2.35
- I will get these statistics for each exposure time in the dark frames that I have taken and plot the peak value as a function of exposure time and the error as a function of exposure time.
- There are big gaps between the bins which I am not sure why.
- Also plotted a histogram for the sum of pixel along the x-axis values against frequency for a 0.1s exposure in the dark frame which follows a Poisson distribution
- The histograms from the sum of pixels along the y-axis follows a Gaussian distribution.
