Required Reading ================ The format of all VIRTIS maps are described in detail by the EAICD document located in the /DOCUMENT directory. VIRTIS team strongly recommends reading this documentation before using the data. Data Set Overview ================= This data set contains maps derived from the data acquired by the Rosetta Orbiter VIRTIS spectrometer during the Comet mission phases of the Rosetta mission. Only VIRTIS-M published maps are included in this dataset. The presently available MAPs depict variation over the nucleus of the following quantity: Albedo (actually Single Scattering Albedo, see papers for definition), Band Depth, Spectral Slopes, Water Ice Abundance. Processing ========== The data in this data set are derived from the VIRTIS calibrated data, CODMAC Level 5 data. The used algorithms are different for the different maps and are described in the provided reference. Data ==== The data are in PDS format. A detailed description of the data format is given in the VIRTIS EAICD document located in the DOCUMENT directory of this data set. Ancillary Data ============== No ancillary data included in this data set. Coordinate System ================= The LATITUDE and LONGITUDE coordinates are given in the PLANETOCENTRIC coordinate system. These parameters are corrected by planetary and stellar aberrations. Software ======== No software was delivered.
These data are available on-line from the Planetary Data System (PDS) at:
