add detector list and dates to FITS header #88

Closed tsengj10 closed 1 year ago

tsengj10 commented 1 year ago

Requested for firedrills: add detector list and other information to FITS header.

A little concerned about the potential length of the detector string, since a FITS header record is limited to 80 characters (it seems it'll sacrifice the comment first, but we may need to be economical with detector names).

I've also used the SNEWS alert time (sent_time) for the observation time, since each alert will contain a different list of detectors.

Not sure where to put the false alarm rate and p-values yet.
