DECam Calibration Files

Crosstalk

A known issue with CCDs is that some charge from saturated stars can incorrectly be associated to a partner CCD.  Such crosstalk features are also seen in DECam images but can be easily removed, as nicely described here [2].

Here is the current crosstalk correction [3] file used in the community pipeline.

Bad Pixel Masks

Here is the current bad pixel mask correction [3] file used in the community pipeline.
