This data set contains observations of the comet 67P/C-G taken by various Earth based telescopes, in support of Rosetta mission (i.e. from January 2014 to the end of the mission in September 2016), using SPECTROSCOPY (SPEC). The data in this dataset are raw.
Description
Dataset Overview ---------------------------------------------------------------------A worldwide Earth based observing campaign was performed during the Rosetta mission dedicated to the observation of the 67P comet. During the campaign, several techniques were used. One of them is SPECTROSCOPY (SPEC). This archive is about SPEC observations that allow to make connections between Rosetta in-situ, local, SPEC observations and larger scale SPEC data. The data are uncompressed in .FIT format, with a set of predefined keywords to ensure that all the information are present. Data present in folders (see explanation in AAAREADME.TXT) havent been processed at all. The calibration can be performed by using calibration files that are either directly stored in the CALIB folder of the dataset, either downloadable on the telescopes archive website (see documentation). The user of this data shall ensure that the observers name(s) and/or PIs name(s) located in the OBSERVER_FULL_NAME keyword in every *.LBL file is/are properly credited. The OBSERVING_NOTES.TXT files in each DATA directory summarize this information. The project is led by Colin Snodgrass (University of Edinburgh, UK) and is implemented by Nicolas Ligier (Open University, UK).
