ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Calibrated Comet 67P Images, September 2014

Radiometric calibrated image data in W/m^2/sr/nm acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The dataset covers the period from 2014-09 02 to 2014-09-23, with the prime target being comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This version 3.0 data set from NASA incorporates corrections from peer reviews and includes updated documentation and ancillary files.

Use Cases

• Analyze cometary surface morphology and activity based on calibrated wide-angle camera images.
• Study temporal changes on comet 67P during the prelanding mission phase mentioned in the description.
• Validate and improve radiometric calibration models using the provided bandpass filter documentation.
• Assess image data quality using the updated quality maps and user guide.

Strengths

• Data is radiometrically calibrated to physical units (W/m^2/sr/nm).
• Dataset version 3.0 incorporates corrections from external peer reviews conducted in July and October 2018.
• Includes updated documentation, a bandpass filter document, and a user guide with FAQ and data quality sections.
• Covers a specific 21-day period from 2014-09-02 to 2014 09-23 during a critical mission phase.

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.
