SDSS-BASED ASTEROID TAXONOMY

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (SDSS-MOC) is a large data set that provides five-filter magnitudes and astrometric information for all moving objects identified in the SDSS images (Izevic et al., 2010). The photometric observations were classified by Carvano et al. (2010) into nine taxonomic classes: Vp, Op, Qp, Sp, Ap, Lp, Dp, Xp and Cp, which are related to the classes and complexes of Bus Taxonomy (Bus & Binzel, 2002b). This data set is contains the taxonomic classification of each SDSS detections and its compilation for each observed asteroid.
