# Data description
This dataset contains:
1. Estimates of the Ajisai satellite's spin axis (Norad ID: 16908) obtained using photometric patterns for the period from 2009 to 2024. [Table of spin poles of Ajisai (2009-2024).csv]
2. Latitudes of photometric patterns relative to the satellite's instantaneous spin axis. [Latitudes of photometric patterns.csv] 

## Format [Table of spin poles of Ajisai (2009-2024).csv] file
The [Table of spin poles of Ajisai (2009-2024).csv] file provides estimates of the Ajisai satellite's spin axis in a CSV format.
The first row contains the column headings, while the remaining rows contain the actual data.

RefDate - the reference date to which the rotation axis estimate refers.
N - the number of photometric patterns used to estimate the rotation axis direction.
RA(deg) - right ascension of the rotation axis (in degrees).
RA_STD(deg) - the estimated error in right ascension of the rotation axis direction (in degrees reduced to the great circle length).
DEC(deg) - declination of the rotation axis (in degrees).
DEC_STD(deg) - the estimated error in declination of the rotation axis direction (in degrees reduced to the great circle length).

## Format [latitudes of photometric patterns.csv] file
The file [Latitudes of photometric patterns.csv] provides latitude estimates of photometric patterns in a CSV format.
The first row contains the column headings, the remaining rows contain the data itself.

PatternID - identifier of the photometric pattern.
N - total number of photometric patterns of this type.
LAT_MEAN(deg) - mean latitude of the photometric pattern in degrees, measured from the instantaneous rotation axis.
LAT_STD(deg) - standard deviation of the latitude estimates of individual measurements of the photometric pattern (in degrees), measured from the instantaneous rotation axis.
