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.
