Shown below is a profile cut across this cell and the others in that OTA and cell row (cells xy10-xy16). The code used to extract the profile does not normalize by the width, so the profile residual values and slopes plotted below need to be divided by 300 to switch to counts. The two profiles shown are from subsequent nights at the beginning of the date range considered, and show different residual patterns. Broadly, we can group nights with increasing gradients with x-pixel on a cell as Mode A, and those with decreasing gradients as Mode B. |
