Properties of Comet Nuclei v2.0

Status: ARCHIVED

Abstract: This data set presents data for the sizes, shapes, albedos and colors of Cometary Nuclei for the sources mentioned above and includes references for the sources cited. In some cases, the authors have culled the data from published or well-known unpublished sources, and have indicated what they judge to be the most reliable value available. Version 2.0 of this data set was created due to an addition of more recent data since version 1.0 was released in 2005 and to correct typographical errors in comet names, discovery IDs, and references used in several data products.

Citation to use when referencing this data set: "Barnes, T.F., M.F. A'Hearn, and L. Kolokolova, Eds., PROPERTIES OF COMET NUCLEI, EAR-C-COMPIL-5-COMET-NUC-PROPERTIES-V2.0, NASA Planetary Data System, 2012."
