Notes. The date refers to the UT of the mid-time of the respective series of observations. λ and β are the ecliptic J2000 coordinates of the PAB. α is the solar phase angle (Sun-Target-Observer). r and Δ are the heliocentric and observer ranges of 67P, respectively. HST = Hubble Space Telescope; NTT = New Technology Telescope, La Silla, Chile; VLT = Very Large Telescope, Paranal, Chile; NAC = OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera; WAC = OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera.
