Data Sets
IUE Comet Data Base (Paul Feldman)
-
Tim notes this one has ephemerides, and found them very helpful. Also liked the organization (by MPC ID) and the cross-id table. ReadPDS doesn't read the merged spectra (as before).
-
Lyle's notes:
- Aareadme.txt has wrong name for ephemeris directory
- DATA_SET_ID is truncated in the index.tab file
-
The ephemerides were included as just labeled output from the Horizons system. This seems to be very readable and helpful - no need to turn them into separate TABLE files.
-
Lien 1: Correct aareadme.txt as above.
-
Lien 2: TARGET_NAME fields must be corrected in the data labels to contain the full name string.
-
Lien 3: Correct DATA_SET_ID values in the index.tab files
