This volume contains mid-IR images of comet 9P/Tempel one obtained by Fernandez, et al., using the LWS instrument on the Keck I telescope. The images were taken over three consecutive night in August 2000, about 7.5 months after the comet passed perihelion.
Both raw and reduced images are presented, along with filter transmission curves.
An overview of the volume contents is provided in the aareadme.txt file.
Catalog files contain the overview information and parameters used in loading the PDS central catalog, specifically, or for developing other interfaces to the data outside of PDS. The information they contain, particularly in their descriptive text fields, should be clear, complete, and understandable to a research user who is not necessarily a mission or instrument specialist.
These files are located in the catalog/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the catinfo.txt file.
In addition to the small text files located throughout the volume to describe directory contents, some specific documents are provided to assist with understanding the data and processing involved. These files are located in the document/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the docinfo.txt file.
Additional explanatory material about the observations, image extraction and reprocessing has been provided in several separate documents:
The data are divided into three subdirectories:
The raw and image subdirectories are further divided by date. All data files are presented as FITS files with detached PDS labels. The filter transmission tables are flat ASCII tables with detached PDS labels.
This directory contains two indices into the data in the index/ directory.
