DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : Version 2.0 of this data set includes Data Release 3 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including astrometric and photometric data for 204,305 moving objects from 301 observing runs through June 2004. The catalog includes various identification parameters, SDSS astrometric measurements (five SDSS magnitudes and their errors), and orbital elements for previously cataloged asteroids. An ancillary table lists the observing runs from which data are included in this data release, along with the dates of observation and information about the the sky coverage of each run. A file containing the Sloan filter response curves is also included. Details of the survey and the moving object catalog may be found in the following publications: Gunn, J.E. and 39 coauthors, 1998.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Confidence Level Overview : Note that due to problems in the 2nd data release of the SDSS MOC, it was never archived in PDS. Version 1.0 of this data set comprised the first data release, and version 2.0 (this version) comprises the third data release. Each release is cumulative and supersedes earlier releases.

ABSTRACT_TEXT The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Moving Object Catalog 3rd release lists astrometric and photometric data for moving objects detected in the SDSS. The catalog includes various identification parameters, SDSS astrometric measurements (five SDSS magnitudes and their errors), and orbital elements for previously cataloged asteroids. The data set also includes a list of the runs from which data are included, and filter response curves.
