| Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains low-resolution, near-infrared (0.8 - 2.5
micron) spectra of asteroids obtained with SpeX at the NASA
Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea. Since it was
commissioned in June 2000, SpeX has been the premier instrument
for producing high quality near-IR spectra of asteroids. These
spectra have been used for both taxonomic studies of asteroids,
and for more detailed mineralogical and compositional
investigations. This data set archives the reduced, calibrated
spectra that have been published in the peer-reviewed literature,
and will be regularly updated as more data become publicly
available. |
