These plots are for all processed coadds that have magnitude thresholds for unconfused areas, which are 15.50, 14.75 and 14.25 mag for J, H and K, respectively. There are 25,706; 25,705 and 25,710 such coadds at J, H and K, respectively. The fit parameters are:
| Band | Constant noise term (DN) | Slope vs. sqrt(background) |
|---|---|---|
| J | 0.25 | 0.045 |
| H | <0.25 | 0.045 |
| K | 0.35 | 0.045 |
| K | 0.41 | 0.044 |
