IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:compil-comet:lightcurves::1.0
NAME Survey of Comet Lightcurves (PDS4 Format)
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This is a dataset that compiles reported observations of brightness changes in comets from various papers to produce lightcurves. Specifically, the data were based on references in Samarasinha et al. (2004), i.e. they are those lightcurves which were used to find the rotational properties of comet nuclei (periods, rotation vector coordinates, spin mode, etc.) reported by Samarasinha et al. (2004). These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset EAR-C-COMPIL-5-LIGHTCURVES-V1.0.
