ABSTRACT_DESC = "CCD images of comet 81P/Wild 2 taken 2003 December 19-21 UT with the ESI instrument on Keck II in support of the Stardust encounter." DATA_SET_DESC = " Data Set Overview ================= The Stardust mission required both astrometric and photometric observations from ground-based telescopes to fine-tune the circumstances for the 2004 January 2 UT spacecraft encounter with comet 81P/Wild 2. The astrometric data provided critical third-dimension information that improved the encounter time, while the photometric data provided information on the level of activity for the comet, which was used to decide on a flyby distance. The Stardust project arranged for some of these observations to be made with the Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea using the ESI instrument in imaging mode, which illuminates a subset of the detector with a 2 by 8 arcmin field. The R filter provided by Richard Ellis (the 'Ellis R filter') was used for all observations because it is the only one in the ESI instrument that accommodates the full 2 by 8 arcmin field of view. Altogether, 57 images of the comet were obtained on the nights of 2003 December 19-21 UT, as well as bias frames, flat field frames, and images of Landolt standard stars. The processed images in this data set have had the average value of the overscan region subtracted, a two-dimensional bias pattern subtracted based on an average of several overscan-subtracted bias images, and were divided by a flat field image based on the median of all the overscan-subtracted and bias subtracted twilight sky flat field images. All three nights were photometric. To compute the photometric zero point of the images, a synthetic aperture of radius 40 pixels was utilized on all astrometric reference stars. The pixel size is 0.155 arcseconds."
