Deep Impact 9P/Tempel Encounter - Reduced MRI Images |
Status: Archived
This volume contains reduced images (reversible and in units of radiance) of comet 9P/Tempel 1 acquired by the acquired by the Deep Impact Medium Resolution Instrument Visible CCD (MRI) during the encounter phase of the mission.
The observational data have been broken down into daily files for easier downloading (yyyy-doy / mm-dd):
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.
The documentation for the Deep Impact mission has been collected into a separate volume. The root of this volume is here. The contents are described in the aareadme file in the root of the documentation volume.
This directory, calib/, contains the files used to calibrate the raw data of comet 9P/Tempel 1. The calibration files are grouped into the following subdirectories and are briefly describe in the calinfo.txt file.
The data are divided by date of observation, with subdirectories named by sequential day number under the data/radrev/2005/ subdirectory. These reversible, calibrated data (RADREV) have units of radiance, W/[m**2 um sr]. .
The browse directory is a web site that provides an easy method for viewing JPEG versions of data products in the data/ directory. An HTML main page links to daily HTML files which display thumbnails and full-frame JPEGs for each data product. The root of this directory is here.
The index/ directory contains an index into the data in the data/ directory.
