Data Set Abstract |
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 1996. The APD is an ongoing compilation and this data set will be updated yearly. |
