Just a quick update that I am planning to take an in depth look at the pixel cleaning in May.
Is this addressed as part of PR #194 by @AarynnCarter ?
@mperrin Tutorials haven't been updated, just the code. I won't have time to do that, so I think best to leave this until @kglidic finishes the tutorial adjustments.
@juliengirard says that in recent testing by him and @asahooexo, they are finding that for
fix_bad_pixels
it is too severe to set the threshold at 3 sigma (bpclean_kwargs={'sigclip': 3,
). In some cases this results in bright speckles in the PSF core being masked out as bad. Setting sigma to 5 or 7 seems better.It would be nice to update the tutorial notebooks to have values which work pretty well in general, so this seems like a good simple change.
There may be other updates in bad pixel cleaning recommended settings as well. Pending future feedback from @juliengirard and @asahooexo.
