| DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Data Set Overview : The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is compiled by Dmitrij Lupishko of Kharkov University. This database tabulates the original data comprising degree of polarization as a function of phase angle of the asteroid, and additional parameters where available. This data set, together with 'polar.tab' containing the TRIAD polarimetry, includes most if not all existing asteroid polarimetry data published by 1996. The APD is an ongoing compilation and this data set will be updated yearly. Parameters : The parameters tabulated in 'apd.tab' are filter, phase angle, degree of polarization, polarization position angle, position angle of the scattering plane, and both degree of polarization and position angle in the proper coordinate system measured from the perpendicular to the scattering plane. Data : The Asteroid Polarimetric Database is included in the file 'apd.tab'. Ancillary Data : Parameters of the polarimetric curve for individual asteroids, as well as polarimetric albedos, are compiled in the file 'apdcurv.tab'. This file reproduces the data in Table 2 of Lupishko and Mohamed (1996) [LUPISHKO&MOHAMED1996]. The full references to published papers the data of which are included in 'apd.tab' are listed in 'apdref.tab'. Modification History -------------------- This data set was first reviewed and ingested in 1996, and has now been updated with additional polarimetric data published since then, as well as an added table of derived polarimetric parameters including polarization curves and polarimetric albedos of selected asteroids.
