Calibration Data

Gain and bad pixel maps from previous COMIC observations runs are availablefpr download

Zero Point Monitoring

Zero point values are monitored for a number of wavebands during each COMIC observation run (where possible). All available results have been tabulated

Bad Pixels

A set of bad pixel images are obtained during each observing run by using the pipeline routine adogain

September 1999: Number of dead pixels = 378 (2 per cent) [Image]
