    298302These corrections assume that the detector response is linear across
    299303the full range of values.  This assumption is not universally true for
    300 GPC1, and an additional set of detrending steps are required to remove
    301 these artifacts.  The first of these is the \IPPprog{burntool}
    302 correction, which removes the flux trails left by the incomplete
    303 transfer of charge along the readout columns.  These trails are
    304 generally only evident for the brightest stars, as only pixels that
    305 are at or beyond the saturation point of the detector leave residual
    306 charge.  More widespread is the non-linearity at the faint end of the
    307 pixel range.  Some readout cells and some readout cell edge pixels
    308 experience a sag relative to linear at low illumination, such that
    309 faint pixels appear fainter than expected.  The correction to this
    310 requires amplifying the pixel values in these regions to match the
    311 expected model.

    497500(higher cell x pixel positions).  This is likely an effect of the
    498 row-by-row bias issue discussed below.  As a result of this
    499 increased noise, more sources are detected in the higher noise regions
    500 when the read noise is assumed constant across the readout.
