DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : The eight color asteroid survey provides reflection spectra for minor planets using eight filter passbands. This dataset includes mean data averaged for each of 589 minor planets. The primary data for these minor planets, the response curves for the filters, and the values determined for standard stars, are included in other related datasets. The wavelength range covered is .33 to 1.04 micrometers.
