Corrected Bias Vector

File Format: FITS image

Name: psBB-rrrrrr-bc-ffff.fit, where rrrrrr is the imaging run number (of the calibration run which produced the vector), b is the filter used (u, g, r, i, or z), c is the column location in the Imaging Array of the CCD which acquired the data (1-6), and ffff is the file number.

Description

There is one psBB bias vector (a.k.a. "better bias") per chip per field. The original bias vectors, idB* files, are determined from calibration runs. Corrected bias vectors, psBB* files, are (optionally) produced by PSP which adds the scattered light correction to the original bias vectors. The pixel values are stored as unsigned integers. The TSCALE keyword gives the amount by which each pixel value has been multiplied; e.g., if TSCALE = 32, then each pixel value in the image is 32 times larger than the true value.
