Data Set Abstract |
NASA's International Halley Watch (IHW) has created a Comet
Halley Archive. The collection of data spans the full wavelength
range as submitted by scientists to the IHW. The observations
belong to one of the following Disciplines: Amateur, Astrometry,
Infrared Studies, Large-Scale Phenomena, Meteor Studies,
Near-Nucleus Studies, Photometry and Polarimetry, Radio Studies,
and Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry. The data collected by
these nine disciplines were augmented by Spacecraft measurements.
The data were submitted to IHW, but the evaluation and selection
for the Archive has been the primary responsibility of the
Discipline Specialist Teams for each network in cooperation with
the Lead Center. The Amateur Observation Network archived 11641
measurements of Halley's comet. Even though most observers
adhered to guidelines established by the IHW, visual magnitudes
are highly subjective depending on the technique of each observer
and may vary with the quality of the instrument used (e.g.,
binoculars vs. telescope). These magnitude estimates cover the
date range from 1985 January 23 through 1988 February 23. |
