PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = "STREAM" OBJECT = TEXT NOTE = " AAREADME file for the EPOXI HRIV (High Resolution Visible CCD) Exoplanet Transit Observations Photometry Data Set " PUBLICATION_DATE = 2010-05-31 END_OBJECT = TEXT END Introduction ============ This data set contains aperture photometry of known transiting planet systems GJ 436, HAT-P-4, HAT-P-7, TrES-2, TrES-3, and WASP-3 derived from radiance calibrated, clear #6 filtered images acquired by the Deep Impact High Resolution Visible CCD from 22 January through 31 August 2008 during the EPOCh phase of the EPOXI mission. The photometry data were derived from time series of continuous 50-second integrations used to observe each system for about three weeks, typically covering five or more transits as well as secondary eclipses. Volume Format ============= This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2 Interchange Standard for directories and file names as described in Version 3.7 of the PDS Standards Reference. File Formats ============ All text documents and other meta information files such as descriptions, PDS object definitions, and detached PDS labels are stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows the files to be read by various operating systems. Volume Contents =============== Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below the top-level directory. The following table shows the general structure and content of these directories but does not exhaustively list every file in each directory. In the table, directory names are surrounded by forward slashes (/), and the top-level of the volume is indicated by a single forward slash. See the *INFO.TXT files in each top-level sub-directory for specific information about the files under that directory. / Top level of volume | |-- AAREADME.TXT This file | |-- VOLDESC.CAT Description of the logical contents of this volume | |--/CATALOG/ Directory containing PDS catalog objects | | | |-- CATINFO.TXT Description of files in this subdirectory | |-- DATASET.CAT Description of this data set | |-- DIF.CAT Description of the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft | |-- EPOXI.CAT Description of the EPOXI mission | |-- HRIV.CAT Description of the HRIV instrument | |-- PERSONNEL.CAT Personnel involved in creating this archive | |-- REF.CAT References to works cited in catalog objects | | |--/DATA/ Directory containing photometry for each target. | | | |--/ASCII/ | | | | | |-- ttttt_PHOTOMETRY_ASCII.TAB Photometry of target 'ttttt' provided | | +-- ttttt_PHOTOMETRY_ASCII.LBL as an ASCII table with PDS label | | | +--/FITSBIN/ | | | |-- ttttt_PHOTOMETRY.FIT Photometry of target 'ttttt' provided | +-- ttttt_PHOTOMETRY.LBL as a FITS binary table with PDS label | | |--/DOCUMENT/ Directory of documents most useful for | | understanding this data set; Each document has one | | PDS label; The full documentation set for Deep | | Impact and EPOXI is available in the PDS data set | | DI-C-HRII/HRIV/MRI/ITS-6-DOC-SET-V3.0 | | | |-- DOCINFO.TXT Description of files in this subdirectory | | | |-- DAY_OF_YEAR_CALENDAR.* | | Perpetual and leap year day of year calendars | | | |-- EPOXI_HRIV_PSFS.* | | Describes the EPOXI HRIV instrumental PSFs that | | were used for transit photometry analysis | | | |-- EPOCH_OVERVIEW.* Provides an overview of the EPOCh phase of the | | EPOXI mission | | | |-- EPOCH_TRANSIT_OBS.* | | Summarizes the EPOCh stellar transit observations | | and photometry | | | +-- EPOCH_TRANSIT_OBS_SCLK2BJD.* | Describes the calibration of spacecraft clock | timing and reduction to Barycentric Julian Date | for EPOCh observations of transiting extrasolar | planets | | +--/INDEX/ Directory containing index files | |-- INDXINFO.TXT Description of files in this subdirectory |-- INDEX.TAB Table locating data files on this data set |-- INDEX.LBL PDS label for index.tab |-- CHECKSUM.TAB MD5 checksum file for this data set +-- CHECKSUM.LBL PDS label for checksum.tab Whom to Contact for Information =============================== Questions regarding the scientific elements of this data set should be directed to: Drake Deming Deputy PI, EPOXI Principal Investigator, EPOCh Investigation Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771 USA David Charbonneau, Jessie Christiansen, or Sarah Ballard Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics 60 Garden Street Cambridge, MA 02138 USA Questions regarding the PDS elements in this data set should be directed to: Stephanie McLaughlin EPOXI Archive Team Department of Astronomy, University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 USA
