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 Spectroscopy and Spectrophotometry
Network collected 2732 files of data which were classified
as 'reduced', which means that at least wavelength is
calibrated and in some cases flux as well. Some data on
non-Halley targets for the spectroscopic observations can be
grouped according to 'laboratory' calibration, dark, bias,
flatfield, sky, and photometric standards. In the first
category, a large number of 'arcs' and 'lamps' were used as
follows: HE-NE, TH-AR, NE-AR, CU-AR, CU-NE, Thorium,
Tungsten, Quartz, and Rubidium. For the 'sky' observers used
the twilight, moonlight, and blank sky. The most common
'photometric' standards were stars, but observers also
included other comets (Hartley-Goode), asteroids (Ceres),
reflection nebulae (R8), and emission nebulae (NGC1982,
NGC7000). A list of these stellar calibration targets
follows: HD 140283, HD 184711, HD89688, HD102870, HD120086,
HD13974, HD219188, HD 25680, HD 19445, HD18803, HD30455,
HD26912, SAO 1280, HZ15, CD-22 7696, GD 190, GC5106, GC2188,
GC2192, G19113213, G 99-37, L745-46A, Feige 15, Feige 56,
Landolt 98, Landolt 92, Van Beuren, RHO ORION, CHI 1 ORION,
29 PI LEO. These data consisted of both one and two
dimensional data covering the date range from 1984 December
23 through 1988 February 17.

Parameters
==========
Data Set Parameter Name : COUNT
Description
-----------
A generic unit for measuring the output of any system with
quantized outputs. This may correspond to the number of
detected photoelectrons in a photomultiplier
tube-amplifier-counter, or it may refer to the output of an
A-to-D converter at the output of a CCD chip, or it may
refer to the number of particles counted by a dust-particle
counter. The value of 'COUNT' may be non-linear in the
incident quantity which is being measured, although the term
is more commonly used in cases where it is a linear
measurement of the incident, measured quantity.
