ASTEROID ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES V7.0

This data set tabulates the IAU-adopted absolute V magnitude and slope parameter for all numbered asteroids as of the given stop date. The data set is updated yearly.

EIGHT COLOR ASTEROID SURVEY FILTER CURVES V1.0

The Eight Color Asteroid Survey provides reflectance spectra for minor planets in eight filter passbands. This dataset contains the response curves of the eight filters used in the survey, as well as the response curves of the dichroic beam splitter. The wavelength range covered is from .29 to 1.1 micrometers, with a .005 wavelength interval.

Asteroid Occultations V1.0

This data set is intended to include all reported timings of observed asteroid, planet, and planetary satellite occultation events as well as occultation axes derived from those timings by David W. Dunham and David Herald. This version is complete through the end of 2016.

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA REFERENCES V1.0

This file contains the full text of the references cited by identification code in the Asteroid Lightcurve Derived Data dataset (EAR-A-5-DDR-DERIVED-LIGHTCURVE-V1.0).

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA V16.0

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 as of February 16, 2016. 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, asteroid spin axes, and 'tumbling' asteroids.

SAWYER ASTEROID SPECTRA V1.0

This data set contains 94 asteroid spectra obtained by Scott Sawyer as part of his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Texas at Austin.

ASTEROID TAXONOMY V1.0

This dataset provides asteroid taxonomic classifications of the Tholen, Barucci, and Tedesco classification systems.

ASTEROID OCCULTATIONS V10.0

ASTEROID OCCULTATIONS V13.0

ASTEROID SPIN VECTORS

This is a tabulation of 526 determinations of asteroid pole orientations, covering 104 numbered asteroids, gathered from the literature from 1932 through 1995.

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA V12.0

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. 2, 2011. 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 POLARIMETRIC DATABASE V6.0

The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is a collection of asteroid polarimetry results compiled by D.F. Lupishko and S.V. Vasiliev of Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine. It is intended to include most asteroid polarimetry available through January 22, 2008.

ASTEROID ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES V3.0

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

UBV MEAN ASTEROID COLORS

This data set is a compilation of mean U-B and B-V color indices of asteroids, collected from the published literature and from the unpublished Lowell Observatory UBV Asteroid Survey.

ASTEROID NAMES AND DISCOVERY V9.0

This data set includes names, designations, and discovery circumstances for the asteroids numbered as of April 7, 2005.

SEVEN COLOR ASTEROID SURVEY V1.0

The Seven-color Asteroid Survey (SCAS) was conducted at the IRTF on Mauna Kea, Hawaii from 1992 to 1994. It consists of photometry in seven filters from 0.9 to 2.3 microns, lettered A through G in order of increasing wavelength. The bandpasses were specifically designed to capture the essential mineralogic information present in infrared asteroid spectra. The filter bandpasses were chosen to avoid the atmospheric water features at 1.4 and 1.9 microns.

ASTEROID MASSES V2.0

This collection of asteroid masses and densities was compiled from the published literature by Jim Baer, Steve Chesley, and Dan Britt. Size and shape information are included as well as masses and densities. This is the version of the compilation as of Dec. 15, 2010.

HARDERSEN IRTF ASTEROID NIR REFLECTANCE SPECTRA V1.0

This dataset includes average near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectra for 68 main-belt asteroids that were observed at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), Mauna Kea, Hawaii, from April 2001 to January 2015. Raw NIR spectral data were obtained under mostly uniform instrumental conditions and include observations of the asteroids, extinction stars, and solar analog stars that were necessary for data reduction and production of the final average asteroid NIR reflectance spectra. SpecPR and Spextool were used during data reduction to produce the final spectra and both programs utilize similar functions that include sky background subtraction, telluric corrections, channel shifting, and averaging routines. The set of asteroids observed include a wide variety of taxonomic types and include V-, S-, M-, X-types that correspond to a wide variety of surface mineralogies, rock types, and potential meteorite analogs.

ASTEROID POLARIMETRIC DATABASE V3.0

The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is compiled by Dmitrij Lupishko of Kharkov University. This database tabulates the original data comprising degree of polarization as a function of phase angle of the asteroid, and additional parameters where available. This data set, together with 'polar.tab' containing the TRIAD polarimetry, includes most if not all existing asteroid polarimetry data published by 1998. The APD is an ongoing compilation and this data set will be updated yearly.

ASTEROID BIBLIOGRAPHY V1.0

A comprehensive compilation of asteroid-related references, produced by Clifford Cunningham (1990). [CUNNINGHAM1990]
