TYPE |
Data
|
DESCRIPTION |
This study presents spectral data from 152 observations
of 17 comets obtained using an Intensified Dissector Scanner
spectrograph at the McDonald Observatory.
A full description of these data and the reduction process, along
with Haser model production rates can be found in Cochran et al. (1992).
These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset
EAR-C-MCDIDS-3-RDR-MCDNLD-V1.0.
