ROSETTA-ORBITER ALICE: UV Spectrometer Data from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, 2016

NASA's Rosetta Orbiter ALICE UV Spectrometer collected this CODMAC Level 3 data during the Rosetta Extension 2 mission phase. The data covers observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from 2016-04-06 to 2016-06-30. This V2.0 dataset supersedes a previous version with improved documentation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the composition of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko based on ultraviolet spectral data.
• Modeling cometary activity and outgassing processes during the 2016 observation period.
• Calibrating or validating ultraviolet spectroscopy models for planetary science.
• Comparing cometary spectral signatures with other datasets from the Rosetta mission.

Strengths

• Data is from a major NASA planetary science mission, the Rosetta Orbiter.
• Covers a specific 86-day observation period from 2016-04-06 to 2016-06-30.
• Represents a versioned dataset (V2.0) with improved documentation over a prior release.

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.
