ROSETTA-ORBITER ALICE: UV Spectrometer Data for Comet 67P, 2014

CODMAC Level 3 data from the Rosetta Orbiter's ALICE UV Spectrometer instrument. The data was collected by NASA during the Prelanding mission phase for comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, spanning from January 21 to November 19, 2014. This version 3.0 dataset supersedes the previous version 2.0 with improved documentation.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet composition based on ultraviolet spectral signatures mentioned in the description
• Study temporal changes in comet 67P's activity during the 2014 Prelanding phase
• Validate and improve spectral models for cometary atmospheres using the instrument data
• Compare comet surface and coma properties using the UV spectrometer observations

Strengths

• Data is from a specific, documented mission phase (Prelanding) with a defined time range (2014-01 21 to 2014-11-19)
• Dataset is version 3.0, superseding a previous version with improved documentation
• Data originates from a NASA space mission instrument, suggesting a controlled collection process

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis
