Abstract:
  The world-wide observing campaign of the Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9
  (SL9) impacts into Jupiter during July 1994 has led to an
  unprecedented quantity of imaging data, predominantly in the visible
  to near-infrared wavelength regime.  In an effort to provide reference
  brightness values for Jupiter at all latitudes, we present a
  compilation of absolute reflectivity scans along the jovian central
  meridian during the impact epoch.  Images from both Earth-orbiting and
  ground-based telescopes were photometrically calibrated and analyzed
  to provide as much spatial resolution and wavelength coverage as
  possible.  This fundamental reference will be made available to the
  entire planetary science community as a means to photometrically
  reduce uncalibrated data from the SL9 impacts via the Planetary Data
  System (PDS).  Until the entire data set is ingested into the PDS, it
  will be available through a World Wide Web site and the AAS CD-ROM
  Series.

Description:
  The data are contained in several data files as described in detail
  in the author-supplied documentation, 'readme.doc'.  Please refer to
  this document for descriptions of record formats and column
  descriptions.
