NOTE: This is the original aareadme.txt file (1999-02-28) that was included   
      in the CD-ROM volume SL9_0013 that has now been split into individual   
      datasets.  For simplicity and historical reasons it has been preserved. 
                                                                              
This data set collection contains CCD image and photometric tabular data.     
Two data sets are included on this volume: a sequence of Jupiter high speed   
CCD images (collected as part of a Lowell Observatory Global Imaging Campaign)
and fragment timings (a University of Maryland team at Perth Observatory).    
The Jupiter/SL9 data span the period from July 14-31 , 1994.                  
                                                                              
The data files were submitted in the FITS form with documentation.   In this  
case, a FITS to PDS translator program (F2P) has been used to create the      
detached PDS labels for each corresponding FITS file.  The data were checked  
by manipulating the data with IDL routines developed at the Small Bodies Node 
(PDSREAD package).    Examples on the use of these IDL routines and the       
source code are posted on the Small Bodies Node home page under Software      
Archives; also located at this address is the Quick Start Archiving guide.    
In the DOCUMENT directory are explanatory text files as well as digitized     
versions of the manuals that are in Postscript form with figures as TIFF      
files. All document files and most labels contain an 80-byte fixed length     
record, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and line feed (ASCII 10) as the     
79th and 80th byte respectively.   All the tabular files in the INDEX and     
DOCUMENT directory are formatted according to PDS standards.   It should be   
noted that the index tables are formatted so that they may be read directly   
into many database management systems.   All fields are separated by commas,  
and character fields are enclosed in double quotes (").                       
                                                                              
An outline of the CD-ROM is shown in the table below:

The Lowell data directory is organized by observation site and date; and      
during the crash week, part of the data was used to search for precursor      
phenomena such as a flash (hence the positioning with Io and Europa           
in the frame).   Other parts of the data were concentrated on the impacts.
