Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains aperture photometry of Kreutz sungrazing
comets that were observed by the LASCO instrument on SOHO from
1996-2005. Apparent magnitude and the error in the magnitude due
to photon statistics are given for circular apertures ranging
from 1,2,3...10 pixels in radius. All images were taken either
with the C2 telescope (11.9 arcsec/pixel) or the C3 telescope (56
arcsec/pixel). The reduced subimages from which this photometry
was calculated are archived with PDS (Knight 2008) [KNIGHT2008]
and scientific analysis is in (Knight et al. 2010)
[KNIGHTETAL2010]. |
