NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID
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. 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.
