Summary Notes • THIS IS A FIRST SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF GSCII DATA QUALITY BASED ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF PLATES. THESE ARE DISTRIBUTED AROUND THE GALACTIC PLANEANDTHE GALACTIC POLES. • AS EXPECTED, THE ASTROMETRY IN BOTH COORDINATES IS BETTER FOR THE STAR/STAR CASES THAN FOR THE NON-STAR/NON-STAR ONES • THE ()IS ON AVERAGE BETTER THAN () IRRESPECTIVE OF CLASSIFICATION • THE ASTROMETRY IS GENERALLY BETTER FOR PLATE PAIRS HAVING SAME AREA AND DIFFERENT COLOR IRRESPECTIVE OF OBJECT CLASSIFICATION • THE PHOTOMETRY APPEARS VERY CONSISTENT IRRESPECTIVE OF CLASSIFICATION. ON PAIRS OF EQUAL-BANDPASS PLATES THE AVERAGE ERROR (IN THE DIFFERENCE) IS ~0.3 MAG
Summary Notes (continues) • AS EXPECTED, THE MEAN VALUES IN , AND (mag) ARE CENTERED AROUND THE NULL VALUE • MORE INTERESTING, THE DEVIATIONS OF , AND (mag) FROM THEIR MEAN VALUES SHOW THE EXPECTED BEHAVIORS FOR THE DIFFRENT CLASSES OF PLATE PAIRS (SAME AREA, DIFFERENT AREA, SAME BANDPASS, DIFF. BANDPASS, ETC.) • THIS GLOBAL QA DOES ALLOW THE DETECTION OF ANOMALOUS PLATES, AS IT WAS THE CASE FOR G039 (S020) • THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS NEEDS TO BE RE-RUN ON A REPRESENTATIVE SET OF PLATES IN THE PRODUCTION DB AT ST ScI
