Sum over fine energy bins by default #194

Open grazwegian opened 12 months ago

grazwegian commented 12 months ago

When the energy bins are fine the proportional discrepancy introduced by the ELUT can be significant. During the fine bin campaign 2023-07-31 to 2023-11-04 three energy bins between 6.3 and 7.3 keV were determined (6.3 - 6.56, 6.56 - 6.8. and 6.8- 7.3) to better investigate the Iron and Nickel lines in this region. For more standard spectroscopy to minimise the ELUT correction error it is more convenient to combine these bins into a single 6.3 - 7.3 bin. This would be the default mode for the stx_convert routines with the full energy resolution data being available through a keyword.

This was discussed in today's weekly telco: Ewan has started this work. A branch has already been started with modification, but it will require some extra work to be finished. Ideally, it is somebody from the Polish team (e.g., Arun).

Branch: https://github.com/grazwegian/STIX-GSW/tree/sum-fine-bins

Säm will contact Arun, and Ewan will be there to help if needed.
