The<br>% table includes the data for each near-Earth asteroid used in the<br>% anlaysis. The header information includes: Asteroid Number, Designation<br>% or Name, Taxonomic Type (Following the Bus-DeMeo classification system),<br>% CPR (where CPR is circular polarization ratio), CPR uncertainty (where<br>% the uncertainty is the 1-sigma value), a (where a is semi-major axis in<br>% au), q (where q is the perihelion distance in au), Q (where Q is the<br>% aphelion distance in au), P (where P is the rotational period in hours),<br>% Hmag (where Hmag is the absolute magnitude), and Orbital Class.&nbsp;<br>% (2) A .mrt file that contains the same data as the csv file, but formatted<br>% according to the specifications of the machine-readable table format<br>% used by the AAS Journals. The .mrt version will also be published with<br>% the final PSJ article.<br>% (3) .mat files containing the output from the statistical modeling<br>% presented in the paper. These files are required to run the .m file<br>% included in this repository.<br>% (4) Make Figures.m, which is a Matlab code that remakes all the figures<br>% presented in the paper given the data in each of the .mat files.&nbsp;<br>% (5) The .png files for each of the figures presented in the paper.&nbsp;<br>% =========================================================================</p> <p>% =========================================================================<br>% File Formats:<br>% This archive includes various file formats.&nbsp;<br>% .csv file is a text file format that uses commas to separate values, and<br>% newlines to separate records.&nbsp;<br>% .mrt file is an ASCII byte-by-byte format that is documented here:<br>% https://journals.aas.org/mrt-overview/<br>% and readable by tools such as astropy, TOPCACT, etc.&nbsp;<br>% .m file is a simple text file used by Matlab, it can be opened by any<br>% text editor and executed by Matlab.&nbsp;<br>% .mat file is the file format used by MATLAB for saving data. It can be<br>% ready by other software, such as python, e.g.,&nbsp;<br>% https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.io.loadmat.html<br>% .png file is short for Portable Network Graphic, which is a type of<br>% raster image file.&nbsp;<br>% =========================================================================</p>
