Description
Dataset for manuscript "Diurnal ejection of boulder clusters on comet 67P lasting beyond 3 AU". Files descriptions:
01. bouder_statistics.txt contains results from the photometric analysis of all 268 boulders identified in all ejection events
column 1 - boulder index
column 2 - event time (yy-mm-ddThh)
column 3 - local time of ejection (hour)
column 4 - heliocentric distance (au)
column 5 - equivalent radius (m)
column 6 - projected speed (m/s)
column 7 - acceleration (exists when more than one observation of the same boulder was found)
column 8 - modelled surface time at the source region at the ejection time)
02. ejection_source.txt contains the coordinates of the inferred source point and the direction vector of its surface normal.
03. ellipsoidal_boulder_shape.obj is the face-vertex representation of the modelled ellipsoidal boulder and its surroundings
04. ellipsoidal_boulder_thermal.txt contains the modelled thermal condition of the ellipsoidal boulder at the time of observation of the event on 2016-05-07. It is formated as follows:
column 1 - facet number
column 2 - insolation (W m^-2)
column 3 - surface temperature (K)
column 4 - water flux rate (kg m^-2 s^-1)
column 5 - surface pressure (Pa)
