Photon transfer curves for: (A) left Mastcam-Z at ambient, (B) right Mastcam-Z at ambient, (C) left Mastcam-Z at C, (D) right Mastcam-Z at . The slope of a linear fit to variance () 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 (). 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
