MOTHE-DINIZ ASTEROID DYNAMICAL FAMILIES V1.0

This dataset contains an updated compilation of asteroid families and clusters, resulting from the application of the Hierarchical Clustering Method (HCM) on a set of around 120,000 asteroids with available proper elements. Whenever available, the classification in the Bus taxonomy is provided for family members, based on spectra from the SMASS, SMASS2 and S3OS2 spectroscopic surveys.

NEAR EARTH ASTEROID LIGHTCURVES

This data set is a collection of photometric lightcurves for 42 near-earth asteroids obtained at Ondrejov Observatory from 1984 through 1998.

ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA V8.0

This is a compilation of published rotational parameters derived from lightcurve data for asteroids, through March 2006.

ASTEROID TAXONOMY

This data set is a collection of asteroid taxonomic classifications from various classification methods, collected from the literature.

ASTEROID NAMES AND DISCOVERY V4.0

This data set includes names, designations, and discovery circumstances for the numbered asteroids, sorted in order of number. This data set supercedes past versions of both the ASTNAMES and DISCOVER asteroid data sets. It represents an extension of a file originally prepared by Pilcher (1979) [PILCHER1979] for the Tucson Revised Index of Asteroid Data (TRIAD) and updated in Pilcher (1989) [PILCHER1989] for the Asteroids II database. The data for asteroids numbered 4045 and greater were either provided by the Minor Planet Center or extracted from the Minor Planet Circulars, which are published by the Minor Planet Center on behalf of Commission 20 of the International Astronomical Union. In some cases, an institution or survey is credited with the discovery rather than an individual. No attempt has been made to correct the inconsistencies in the presentation of names (that is, some names are given with initials and some are not), or in the way locations are specified (for example, Pilcher distinguishes between the Lowell Observatory and Anderson Mesa locations in Flagstaff).

EIGHT COLOR ASTEROID SURVEY STANDARD STARS V1.0

The eight color asteroid survey provides reflection spectra for minor planets using eight filter passbands. A system of standard stars was established to aid in the calibration of the ECAS photometric system. This dataset includes the standard magnitudes and color indices for the eight-color standard stars which were then used to calibrate the eight color asteroid survey data. The wavelength range covered is from .33 to 1.04 micrometers.

LEBOFSKY ET AL. 3-MICRON ASTEROID DATA

3-micron spectrophotometric data on asteroids collected from several papers by Lebofsky, Jones, and Feierberg and their collaborators.

ASTEROID TAXONOMY V5.0

This data set is a collection of asteroid taxonomic classifications from various classification methods, collected from the literature.

ASTEROID RADAR V6.0

This data set is intended to include all groundbased asteroid radar detections. These entries were collected by Steven J. Ostro, and selected data have been provided as collected from the published literature.

HIGH-INCLINATION ASTEROID FAMILIES V1.0

This data set contains the high-inclination asteroid families of Gil-Hutton (2006). A data set of 3652 high-inclination numbered asteroids was analyzed to search for dynamical families. The basic data set was the list of 3697 asteroid synthetic proper elements taken from the Asteroid Dynamic Site, March 2005 version; Knezevic and Milani (2000). For this analysis, only asteroids with sine of proper inclination greater than 0.3 were used.

SUB-KILOMETER ASTEROID DIAMETER SURVEY (SKADS) V1.0

The Sub-Kilometer Asteroid Diameter Survey (SKADS) (Gladman et al. 2009) acquired good-quality orbital and absolute magnitude (H) determinations for a sample of small main-belt asteroids in order to study the orbital and size distribution beyond H = 15, down to sub-kilometer sizes (H > 18). Based on six observing nights over an 11-night baseline, SKADS detected, measured photometry for, and linked observations of 1087 asteroids which have one-week time baselines or more. This data set contains the astrometry, photometry, and orbits of the 1087 asteroids detected by SKADS.

ASTEROID ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES V8.0

Absolute magnitudes and slopes, mostly IAU-adopted with exceptions noted, for all asteroids numbered as of the 2004 April 15 batch of Minor Planet Circulars

ASTEROID RADAR V4.0

This data set is intended to include all groundbased asteroid radar detections. These data were collected from the published literature by Steven J. Ostro (1989) [OSTRO1989]. Observations which have not yet been published, or which have been reported only in an abstract, are included in the data set as an entry with blank data fields, for the purpose of informing the data set users of the existence of these detections. As the data from these detections are published, the data are added to this data set in yearly updates.

ASTEROID OCCULTATIONS V4.1

This data set is intended to include all reported timings of observed asteroid occultation events through Apr. 11, 2006, as well as asteroid occultation axes derived from those timings by David W. Dunham and David Herald. Some occultations by planetary satellites are also included.

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 Polarimetric Database V1.0

The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is a collection of asteroid polarimetry results compiled by D.F. Lupishko of Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine. It is intended to include most asteroid polarimetry available through February 15, 2019.

EIGHT COLOR ASTEROID SURVEY

This data set contains the reflectance spectra and associated data of the Eight Color Asteroid Survey (ECAS), including results for 589 asteroids.

24-COLOR ASTEROID SURVEY

This dataset is comprised of asteroid flux data measured in 26 filters using the McCord dual beam photometer, and covering the range 0.32 - 1.08 microns for 285 numbered asteroids, as published in Chapman & Gaffey (1979b) and McFadden, et al. (1984).

ASTEROID ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES V4.0

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

ASTEROID RADAR V14.0

This data set is intended to include all published groundbased asteroid radar detections. The entries were collected by Steven J. Ostro, and selected data have been collected from the published literature.
