Data Set Overview
=================
This dataset contains Clear1 filter (broadband, 200-1100 nm), CN (387
nm), OH (309 nm), C2 (514 nm), and dust continuum (Violet at 345 and
Green at 526 nm) photometric measurements of comet 103/P Hartley 2
derived from reversibly-calibrated, radiance (RADREV) images acquired
by the Medium Resolution Visible CCD (MRI) from 01 October through
26 November 2010, during the Hartley 2 encounter phase of the EPOXI
mission. The heliocentric distance of the comet ranged from 1.12 to
1.06 AU. These photometry data were used by Bodewits, et al., 2013,
[BODEWITSETAL2013] to characterize the gas and dust coma of Hartley 2.
The photometry measurements and their computed errors are provided as
24, fixed-width, ASCII tables separated by filter and by photometry
method. Two different methods were used: simple circular aperture
photometry for radii of 1-30 pixels in 1-pixel increments and azimuthal
averaged aperture photometry for 33 radii ranging from 1 to 248 pixels
in graduated steps. The simple aperture photometry is robust for radii
of 5 to 20 pixels while the azimuthal average method, which rejected
stars, is recommended for analysis at larger apertures (radii of 20
or more pixels).
The file naming convention for the data products is
PhotMethod_DataType_FilterName.Ext
where
PhotMethod = APER for simple aperture photometry or
AZAV for azimuthal average photometry
DataType = PHOT for photometry measurements or
ERR for computed errors
FilterName = CLEAR1, CN, C2, OH, GREEN_CONT, or VIOLET_CONT
Ext = TAB for a data table or
LBL for the corresponding PDS label
The first record in each data table lists the radii, in pixels, used to
measure photometry. Subsequent records contain the measured photometry
or computed errors; the columns in these records are:
Col# Description (units)
---- ------------------------------------------------------------------
1 MRI RADREV FITS image filename
2 Julian date for mid-obs
3 Day of year for 2010
4 Filter name
5 X-coordinate of originally measured centroid, where CCD vertical
center = 255.5 (pixel)
6 Y-coordinate of originally measured centroid, where CCD horizontal
center = 255.5 (pix)
7 Image size, both dimensions (pixel)
8 Horizontal distance of centroid to CCD vertical center line, where
a negative value is left of that line (pixel)
9 Vertical distance of centroid to CCD horizontal center line, where
a negative value is below that line (pixel)
10 Image quality flag, manually assigned
11* Target heliocentric distance* (AU)
12* Target-to-spacecraft distance* (km)
13* Phase angle, sun-target-spacecraft* (degree)
14 30 or 33 columns of photometric measurements or errors,
corresponding to the aperture radii specified in the first
table record. A value of -9.99E+03 indicates photometry could
not be computed for the given aperture. (W/m^2/micron)
* The geometry values in columns 11, 12, and 13 were extracted
from the RADREV FITS image headers, which the EPOXI data pipeline
computed at the epoch specified by the mid-obs time in column 2.
Please read the accompanying report HARTLEY2_PHOTOMETRY_REPORT.PDF,
which is located in the DOCUMENT directory. It thoroughly describes
the photometry methods, error analysis and limitations, and it provides
more detail about the MRI observations and frequency of filter usage.

ABSTRACT_TEXT |
This dataset contains clear-filter, CN, OH, C2, and
dust-continuum photometric measurements of comet 103/P Hartley 2
derived from calibrated images acquired by the Medium Resolution
Visible CCD (MRI) from 01 October through 26 November 2010,
during the Hartley 2 encounter phase of the EPOXI mission. Two
different methods were used: simple circular aperture photometry
and azimuthal averaged aperture photometry, which removed stars.
The results and uncertainties for both procedures are included in
this dataset.
