DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This data set includes UBVRI polarimetric measurements of ten main-belt asteroids including space mission targets 1 Ceres and 21 Lutetia, in addition to the potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 23187 2000 PN9. The main belt asteroid observations were made during 1996-2004 at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) 1.25m telescope, with a five-channel UBVRI photopolarimeter, and have been reported in Belskaya et al. (2009). NEA 23187 2000 PN9 was observed in March 2006 at the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory 1.82m telescope using the Asiago Faint Object Spectrographic Camera (AFOSC) polarimeter, and have been reported in Belskaya et al. 2009b.
