DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview:The file 'polar.tab' contains the data originally archived in TRIADand reported in Asteroids (T. Gehrels, Ed., The University of ArizonaPress, 1979). It tabulates the reduced values of the polarizationcurves of the asteroids, namely minimum polarization, inversionangle, and polarimetric slope. For a more complete and up-to-datecompilation of asteroid polarimetry, see the Asteroid PolarimetricDatabase, archived in PDS in the file 'apd.tab'.  Data:The data are included in the file 'polar.tab'.
