Comet Orbital And Physical Parameters

COMET_MC is a dataset from OpenML, likely containing parameters for comets. The dataset's specific creator, size, and update date are not provided in the metadata.

Use Cases

• Classify comet types using orbital eccentricity and inclination columns.
• Predict perihelion distance based on absolute magnitude and nucleus diameter.
• Cluster comets into dynamical families using semi-major axis and orbital period features.
• Analyze the relationship between comet activity metrics and solar distance.

Strengths

• Sourced from OpenML, a platform for standardized machine learning datasets.
• Focuses on a specific astronomical domain, providing curated parameters.

Limitations

• The total number of comet records and specific column definitions are unknown.
• Data may be temporally stale if not updated with recent comet discoveries.
• Potential for missing values in physical parameters for faint or poorly observed comets.
