Shape model of Comet Tempel 1 as derived from Deep Impact and Stardust images ============================================================================= Introduction ============ This document provides an overview of this volume of the Tempel 1 shape model, including a complete listing of the volume contents. This volume contains the plate model that describes the basic shape of the nucleus of comet 9P/Tempel 1. Two different versions of the plate model are included, one defined in cartesian coordinates and one in planetocentric coordinates. See the DATASET.CAT file in the CATALOG directory for information about how the models were derived.
