Does it support specific SDO/AIA telescope settings?

Yes, it includes built-in support for all standard SDO/AIA wavelengths (171A, 193A, 211A, 304A, etc.) and automatically applies the correct color scales.

How does it handle high dynamic range solar data?

It provides various normalization stretches such as AsinhStretch and LogStretch, which are essential for revealing faint coronal features alongside bright active regions.

What data formats are compatible with SSW-Viz?

SSW-Viz is designed to work with FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files, the standard format for solar physics, using the SunPy and Astropy libraries.

Can I use this skill to evaluate AI models?

Absolutely. It contains specific patterns for side-by-side comparisons of model predictions versus ground truth, including the generation of difference/error maps.

Can I create video files of solar activity?

Yes, the skill includes a pattern for generating MP4 time-lapse animations from a sequence of FITS files using Matplotlib's animation module.
