| | 1 | The Variance Maps have patterns. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | We investigated the variance maps for different stages/processing: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | * chip (md) |
| | 6 | * warp (md) |
| | 7 | * stack (md and sas) |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | There are periodic patterns associated with warp and stack, which are not associated with chip. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Here is a zoom of one of the unconv.wt.fits for SAS footprint: (stack_Id= 336346). You can see an odd periodic background. The yellow circles are the false detections. |

| | 14 | Here is a zoom of one of the unconv.wt.fit stacks for a recent MD refstack, it not quite as strange, but still, there is an underlying odd, periodic background. |

| | 22 | Warp stage (for the same chip) has a very strange background for the weight map (click to zoom in) |
