Physical Characteristics of Comets

A PDS3 version of this data set can be found here.

Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED

Abstract: This dataset is a compilation of observational measurements on comet morphology and magnitude covering just over a thousand apparitions of various comets from -466 to 1975. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset EAR-C-5-DDR-PCC-V1.0. For migration, the data files were left untouched and the information in the PDS3 labels was translated into PDS4 format and augmented with additional metadata; the reference list file was converted to a document product; and the PDS3 data set catalog file was edited and updated to create the description document.
