MMS FEEPS bad eye removal flag? #148

Closed jameswilburlewis closed 3 months ago

jameswilburlewis commented 4 months ago

In mms_feeps_energy_table.pro, there are some NaN entries in a correction table that have the effect of marking bad FEEPS eyes by replacing their energy tables with NaNs. Apparently some of the bad eyes aren't so bad anymore, and ideally someone would produce a time-varying list of them. In the short term, perhaps it would be good to have a "keep_bad_eyes" flag in mms_load_feeps (defaulting to false), that if set, would replace the NaNs with zeroes to make it easier to look at the data to assess its status, sun contamination removal performance, etc.

There might also be adjustments needed in mms_feeps_active_eyes and mms_feeps_flat_field_corrections.

We'll see what Christine G and Drew T suggest.
