ROSETTA-ORBITER ALICE: UV Spectrometer Data from Comet 67P, 2016-07 to 2016-09

Level 2 data acquired by the Rosetta Orbiter's ALICE UV Spectrometer during the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko mission's Extension 3 phase. The data collection period spanned from 2016-07-01 to 2016-09 30. This V2.0 dataset, produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, supersedes a previous version with improved documentation.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal variations in comet 67P's ultraviolet emissions based on the described mission phase.
• Model cometary coma composition and activity levels based on UV spectrometer data.
• Validate and improve calibration algorithms for space-based UV spectrometers based on the documented data versioning.
• Study the correlation between solar activity and cometary emissions during the specified 2016 observation window.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 3-month mission phase (2016-07-01 to 2016-09-30).
• Version 2.0 indicates documented improvements over a prior release.
• Data originates from a well-documented NASA space mission.

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.
