Summary of changes:

ARF: FPMA

BADPIX: FPMB v005
 
=========
 
We have updated the list of pixels that should not be used for scientific analysis with one further noisy pixel which will very occasionally manifest as an erroneous source detection. This is a pixel on FPMB DET2 and its removal from analysis will have no effect on on-axis sources.
