Las Campanas Observatory (LCO) Swope 1m Telescope Photometric Lightcurves in Support of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission, Version 1.0

This data collection contains high precision photometric lightcurves of the
Didymos system prior to and following the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)
impact. Instrumental aperture photometry was performed on Didymos and reference
stars on each calibrated frame obtained from the 4K CCD camera on the Swope 1m
Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, and results were recorded in fixed-width
ASCII tables. This data may be used to interpret the deflection caused by the DART
spacecraft impact.

本数据集收录了双小行星重定向测试（Double Asteroid Redirection Test, DART）撞击前后，迪迪摩斯双星系统（Didymos）的高精度测光光变曲线。研究人员借助拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台（Las Campanas Observatory）斯旺普1米望远镜（Swope 1m Telescope）搭载的4K电荷耦合器件（Charge-Coupled Device, CCD）获取定标图像，并针对每帧图像中的迪迪摩斯双星系统与参考恒星开展仪器孔径测光，最终将测光结果存储于定宽ASCII表格中。本数据集可用于阐释DART航天器撞击所引发的小行星轨道偏转效应。
