ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSIWAC: Solar Stray Light Corrected Images of Comet 67P

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the prime target of this data set. It contains solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The data covers the period from 2014-05-07 to 2014-06-04 and was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface albedo and photometric properties based on radiometric calibrated data in W/m^2/sr/nm.
• Study the morphology and geology of comet 67P based on geometric distortion corrected images.
• Validate stray light correction models for space camera systems based on the described processing.
• Conduct temporal analysis of comet activity during the prelanding mission phase from 2014-05-07 to 2014-06-04.

Strengths

• Data is corrected for solar stray light, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected, indicating a high level of processing.
• Covers a defined temporal range from 2014-05-07T12:48:00.000 to 2014-06-04T10:49:59.000.
• Version V1.0 is described as a lien corrected dataset after an October 2018 external peer review.

Limitations

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