Description

I started playing around with this function yesterday and ran into at least one case where the ability to grow the cosmic ray mask a bit is necessary to fully eliminate CRs without also catching noise. Will post a link to a notebook demonstrating what I was hitting later today.

Research direction

Start by locating the cosmicray_lacosmic function and reading how its options control cosmic-ray mask generation. Use the issue's promised notebook or a comparable case to understand the need for gbox. Done means the function accepts this option and can grow the mask enough to remove cosmic rays without also catching noise.
