Photon transfer curves for: (A) left Mastcam-Z at ambient, (B) right Mastcam-Z at ambient, (C) left Mastcam-Z at 5 C, (D) right Mastcam-Z at 5C. The slope of a linear fit to variance (σ2) vs. average DN is 1/gain while the read noise is the offset. Full-well occurs at the signal level where variance deviates from a linear relationship with average DN (Janesick et al. 1987). All photon transfer curves were measured at 110 mm (zoommc=9600). Gain and full well are found to remain constant with temperature, to within error. Read noise is consistent as well, but may increase slightly at colder temperatures
