DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview
    =================
    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 data from the Radio Studies
    Continuum Subnetwork contains 96 files in which the data is
    expressed as an upper limit or detection. These data span
    dates 1985 October 30 through 1986 May 14.

    Description
    -----------
      The flux collected over a solid angle encompassing only a
      single, discrete source. The term is used primarily in radio
      astronomy and optical astronomers would commonly refer to
      the same quantity as flux. Within radio astronomy, it is
      usually measured either in watts meter^-2 Hz^-1 or in
      Janskys (1 Jy = 1e-26 W m^-2 Hz^-1).
