KPL/PCK SPICE PCK File for Tempel 1 -- IAU 2015 (pck00011.tpc) Values =========================================================================== By: B. Semenov 24-JAN-2023 Organization -------------------------------------------------------- The sections of this file are as follows. Introductory Information: -- Version description -- Disclaimer -- Sources Pck Data: -- Orientation constants for Comet 9P/Tempel 1 -- Radii for Comet 9P/Tempel 1 Version description -------------------------------------------------------- This file was created on January 24, 2023 by Boris Semenov, NAIF/JPL. This PCK contains 9P/Tempel 1 rotation constants from [1] and radii from [2]. Disclaimer -------------------------------------------------------- This constants file may not contain the parameter values that you prefer. Note that this file may be readily modified by you or anyone else. NAIF suggests that you inspect this file visually before proceeding with any critical or extended data processing. NAIF requests that you update the `by line' and date if you modify the file. Sources -------------------------------------------------------- The sources for the constants listed in this file are: 1) Generic PCK file pck00011.tpc based on IAU 2015 constants; https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck/pck00011.tpc 2) di_tempel1_v02.tpc Orientation constants for Comet 9P/Tempel 1 -------------------------------------------------------- The inertial reference frame for these constants is J2000; this is the default reference frame for PCK orientation data. The epoch of the constants is the Julian ephemeris date (JED) 2453555.740027. The NAIF integer code for 9P/Tempel 1 is 1000093. See the NAIF_IDs required reading for further information on NAIF integer codes. The 9P/Tempel 1 RA and DEC constants below are from [1]. The 9P/Tempel 1 W terms below are from comments in [1]: . 2 2 2 W = 109.7, W = 211.849 deg/day, d W/dt = 0.024 deg/day These constants are applicable for Deep Impact Tempel 1 encounter, 4 July 2005. \begindata BODY1000093_POLE_RA = ( 255. 0. 0. ) BODY1000093_POLE_DEC = ( 64.5 0. 0. ) BODY1000093_PM = ( 109.7 211.849 0.024 ) BODY1000093_CONSTANTS_JED_EPOCH = 2453555.740027 \begintext Radii for Comet 9P/Tempel 1 -------------------------------------------------------- The radii provided in the keyword below are from [2]: a/b/c = 3.1km/2.1km/2.1km \begindata BODY1000093_RADII = ( 3.1 2.1 2.1 ) \begintext End of PCK file.
