AURorae session

Description

Medium resolution session (~25 km / pixel) from circular orbit (altitude of Phobos).
Eastern part of Valles Marineris and Aurorae Planum, from Melas chasma, Eos and Capri chasmata, to chaotic terrains in Xanthe Terra.

Observations

Name	Date	Spectra	Window size	Estimated local time	Phase angle	Solar Meridian	Ls	Mars-Sun dist (au)
AURorae	12/03	3007	121 x 25	11:30-15:10	0.9° - 5.5°	70°	11.2°	1.585

Orbit

Mean distance (km)	Eccentricity	Inclination (°)	W (°)	w (°)	Time & day of pericenter
9678.80	0.002493	1.0051	86.377	130.265	21:42:25 11/3/1989

Special corrections

Dark current file: fond1403.dg2
Gain = 2
Focal plane temperature = -76.2 °C
Shift in coordinates: Dlong = -1.2°, Dlat = 0.5°
Orbital parameters are not precisely known, and may have change during acquisition. Therefore, there could be a problem of projection at the eastern end, but the reference altimetry data available at the time (Mariner and Viking) are not reliable either in this region.
