| Data Set Abstract |
This dataset presents a collection of 2334 published and 319
unpublished results in cometary polarimetry. The database
contains 2653 measurements of linear and circular polarization
for 65 comets since 1940. The narrow-band and broad-band
measurements within the spectral region 0.3-3.5 micron are
presented. The ranges of phase angles, helio- and geocentric
distances of comets are 0.4-122 deg, 0.6-4.8 AU and 0.03-4.9 AU,
respectively. We have compiled 64 references to the published
papers and some unpublished sources. The data are presented in a
tabular format (ASCII code). The database can be used as the
observational basis for detailed theoretical modeling,
interpretation of the phase-angle and spectral dependence of
polarization, classification of comets, and for selecting future
space-mission targets. |
