ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA V10.0

This is a compilation of published rotational parameters derived from lightcurve data for asteroids, through Feb. 15 2008. In addition to reported rotational parameters by individual paper, there is a summary file with the values adopted by Harris, Warner, and Pravec as the most likely correct values for each asteroid. The data set also contains files listing known rotational information on asteroids with ambiguous periods, binary asteroids, and 'tumbling' asteroids.

NEAR EARTH ASTEROID TRACKING V1.0

The Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) project began as a collaborative effort with the United States Air Force (USAF) in December 1995. It concentrated on the discovery and observations of near-Earth asteroids and comets, collectively called near-Earth objects (NEOs). NEAT ended its observations in April 2007. Throughout its history, NEAT utilized three 1m class telescopes - two on the Hawaiian island of Maui and the 1.2m Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, CA. Three unique cameras were developed and used throughout the program. These data are intended to be usable for photometric analysis of the various objects within the NEAT data. Most nights included calibration data, and the lists of photometric standard calibration fields.

NESVORNY HCM ASTEROID FAMILIES V2.0

This data set contains asteroid dynamical family memberships for 64 families calculated from analytic proper elements, and 79 families calculated from synthetic proper elements, including high-inclination families. These families were calculated by David Nesvorny using his code based on the Hierarchical Clustering Method (HCM) described in Zappala et al. (1990, 1994). The input analytic proper elements for 401,408 numbered and unnumbered asteroids were calculated by Milani and Knezevic. The input synthetic proper elements for 302,212 numbered asteroids were calculated by Knezevic.

The collection resides on volume GO_0016 and consists of all images acquired by the Galileo spacecraft during the period from the flyby of Ida through the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) comet impact on Jupiter. This includes data from SCLK 197327200 through 249221800 and contains the following targets: stars, Ida and Jupiter.

EARTH ASTEROID DBP 24COLOR SURVEY V1.0

This dataset is comprised of asteroid flux data measured in 26 filters using the McCord dual beam photometer. Of the 26 filters used for the full dataset, a maximum of 24 were used for any one measurement. The wavelength range covered is from 0.32 to 1.08 micrometers.

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA V11.0

This is a compilation of published rotational parameters derived from lightcurve data for asteroids, based on the Warner et al. (2009) Asteroid Lightcurve Database. This is the version released on Mar. 9, 2010. In addition to reported rotational parameters by individual paper, there is a summary file with the values adopted by Harris, Warner, and Pravec as the most likely correct values for each asteroid. The data set also contains files listing known binary asteroids and 'tumbling' asteroids.

ASTEROID DENSITIES

This data set contains a tabulation of asteroid masses, diameters, and bulk densities compiled by D. T. Britt and published in Table 1 of Britt, et al. (2002) [BRITTETAL2002] in the 'Asteroids III' volume.

2MASS ASTEROID AND COMET SURVEY V2.0

This data set includes J, H, and Ks magnitudes from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) for sources which were positionally associated with asteroids, comets, planets, and planetary satellites. This version includes the 2MASS Extended Mission.

2MASS ASTEROID AND COMET SURVEY V1.0

This data set includes J, H, and Ks magnitudes from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) for sources which were positionally associated with asteroids, comets, planets, and planetary satellites.

ASTEROID RADAR V1.0

This dataset is intended to include all asteroid radar detections. An entry for each detection reports radar cross-section and circular polarization, if known, as well as the year of observation and the reference in which the observations were reported. Observations which have not been published yet, or which have been reported only in an abstract, are included as an entry but with no data.

KHARKIV ASTEROID MAGNITUDE-PHASE RELATIONS V1.0

A database of asteroid magnitude-phase relations compiled at the Institute of Astronomy of Kharkiv Kharazin University by Shevchenko et al., including observations from 1978 through 2008. Mainly the observations were performed at the Institute of Astronomy (Kharkiv, Ukraine) and at the Astrophysics Institute (Dushanbe, Tadjikistan). For most asteroids the magnitude-phase relations were obtained down to phase angles less than 1 deg. For some asteroids the magnitudes are presented in three (UBV) or four (BVRI) standard spectral bands.

ASTEROID PHOTOMETRIC CATALOG V1.1

The Asteroid Photometric Catalog (3rd update), Lagerkvist, et.al., 1993 [LAGERKVISTETAL1993], is a compilation of all asteroid lightcurve photometry published up to and including the year 1992. The dataset includes the lightcurves in digital form and a table of references to all original publications.

ASTEROID NAMES AND DISCOVERY V10.0

This data set includes names, designations, and discovery circumstances for the asteroids numbered as of March 14, 2006.

ASTEROID ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES V2.0

IAU-adopted magnitude parameters (absolute V magnitude and slope parameter) for all numbered asteroids.

ASTEROID RADAR V5.0

This data set is intended to include all groundbased asteroid radar detections. These entries were collected by Steven J. Ostro (1989) [OSTRO1989] and selected data have been provided as collected from the published literature. A null value (e.g., '9.99') in any particular column indicates that the corresponding datum was not available in the published paper. For example, for monostatic radar observations, circular polarization ratio cannot be derived, so the value in this column is '9.99'. In some cases, the data provided in the paper are too complex to be presented in the table, as in the case of a time-series of values.

The research focused on asteroids in a zone centered on the 3:1 resonance. These spectra were used to mineralogically characterize asteroids in this zone in an attempt to identify their meteorite analogs.
