DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview:The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is compiled by DmitrijLupishko of Kharkov University. This database tabulates the originaldata comprising degree of polarization as a function of phase angleof the asteroid, and additional parameters where available. Thisdata set, together with 'polar.tab' containing the TRIAD polarimetry,includes most if not all existing asteroid polarimetry data publishedby 1995. The APD is an ongoing compilation and this data set will beupdated yearly. DATA_PROVIDER_FULL_NAME : 'Dmitrij Lupishko' DATA_SET_UPDATE_PERIOD : 1.0 Parameters:The parameters tabulated in 'apd.tab' are filter, phase angle, degreeof polarization, polarization position angle, position angle of thescattering plane, and both degree of polarization and position anglein the proper coordinate system measured from the perpendicular tothe scattering plane. Data:The Asteroid Polarimetric Database is included in the file'apd.tab'.
