Description of the data files kept in this directory.
To keep this readme short you can find column descriptions in the datas associated .txt file or linked below.
Catalan - now stored here
Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data for the Catalan crater on the moon. Individual .lbl files are in the directory for each .csv file. https://ode.rsl.wustl.edu/moon/indextools.aspx
LOLA DEM - now stored here
Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) digital elevation model of the moon details in directory.
Atomic data (mass, binding energy etc of isotopes) from the Atomic Mass Data Center (AMDC). mass16Abundant.csv is the same but with only the most abundant isotope of each element.
This directory contains csvs on the ring structures of the gas giants and their satellites.

Contains percentage compositions for different gases in the atmospheres of the planets + Pluto.
Chemical composition of the crust. Taken from: CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 97th Edition (2016-2017)
The chemical compostion of the Earth. Only some elements included. Some Oxygen data is missing. Values in %.
Rows for: Bulk, Core, Lower Mantle, Upper Mantle, and the Crust.
