ROSETTA-ORBITER ALICE: UV Spectrometer Data from Comet 67P Mission Phase

UV spectrometer data from the Rosetta Orbiter's ALICE instrument, collected during the Rosetta Extension 2 mission phase. The data covers observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko between April 6 and June 30, 2016. This version 2.0 dataset is provided by NASA and supersedes a previous version with improved documentation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet 67P's ultraviolet spectral emissions based on the spectrometer data.
• Studying temporal changes in comet activity during the specified 2016 mission phase.
• Validating and improving upon previous analyses using the superseded V1.0 dataset.

Strengths

• Data is from a defined mission phase spanning 86 days from 2016-04-06 to 2016-06-30.
• This V2.0 release supersedes a previous version with improved documentation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
