This document describes data files presented with "Specific Heat Capacity Measurements of Selected Meteorites for Planetary Surface Temperature Modeling". The paper reports specific capacity measurements in Joule per kilogram per Kelvin, in contrast with the laboratory data files (Joule per gram per Kelvin, second column in each data file) kept in their original form. Temperatures (first column in each data file) are given in Kelvin.

Data.zip contains three folders:

/Appendix_1/: two data files used to generate the plots presented in Appendix. Data in Diamond_DeSorbo1953_Table2.txt originates from DeSorbo, W. (1953), Specific Heat of Diamond at Low Temperatures, Journal of Chemical Physics, 21(5), 876-880, doi:10.1063/1.1699050. Data in Diamond.txt has been acquired as part of this work.

/Data/: 29 data files generated for this work for 28 meteorites. Allende is associated with two distinct files, Allende_CV3_Powder.txt for data acquired with a particulated sample, and Allende_CV3_Slab.txt for data acquired with a slab (see Figure 1 and related text in the paper).

/Data_Ambient/: four data files for samples kept under ambient conditions (see Table 2, Figure 2, and related text in the paper).
