Data Set Overview
  =================
  This data set contains 52-color IR spectra taken using a double
  circularly variable filter. The short wavelength portion of the CVF
  covered the octave from 0.8 to 1.6 microns with 3 percent resolution,
  while the long wavelength portion covered 1.5 to 2.6 microns with 5
  percent resolution.  There is some overlap in the spectral coverage
  between 1.5 and 1.6 microns, which is evident as a discontinuity in the
  wavelengths after the first 32 values, which were obtained with the short
  wavelength portion, while the remaining 20 values were obtained with the
  long wavelength portion.
 
  Errors were computed from the standard deviation of the multiple scans
  through the CVF.  If only one scan was performed, the error is left
  blank. Note that due to the small number of scans, the errors are often
  both underestimated and overestimated.
 
  Some wavelength positions correspond to telluric features and were
  intentionally blanked.  In other cases, especially near the ends of the
  CVF, the data were either not taken or were hopelessly noisy, so those
  entries were also blanked.
 
  The following code letters are used for the various solar analog stars:
                 A = 18 Aquarii
                 B = 16 Cygni B
                 O = 13 Orionis
                 V = 70 Virginis
 
  The observation date for 113 Amalthea is given as 054/05/85 in the
  original machine readable data file.  The assumption has been made that
  the 4 is a typographical error, based on the fact that other observations
  were made on 05/05/85.
 
  Not all dates of observation are available.  In particular, those
  asteroid observations contributed by R.H. Brown did not include
  observation dates in the original machine readable data file.
 
  One observation was taken from the literature, namely Cruikshank and
  Hartmann (1984) [CRUIKSHANK&HARTM1984].

  Parameters
  ==========
  The data tables have one entry for each observation, with fields for the
  following parameters: asteroid catalog number; a code for the solar
  analog star used with that observation; the date of observation; and
  reflectances and error values for each of 52 bandpasses.
 
 
  Data
  ====
  The reflectances in each of the 52 bands are given in the table
  52color.tab'.  The errors are given in the table '52error.tab'. The
  asteroid identification, solar analog code, and observation date are
  provided in each of these two files.
 
 
  Ancillary Data
  ==============
  The ancillary file '52waves.tab' presents the effective wavelengths of
  each of the 52 positions of the CVF which were used for the survey,
  arranged in a single record with a separate field for each wavelength.
  The file '52waves2.tab' gives the same information arranged with one
  wavelength per record.  Each record also contains the FWHM of the
  bandpass.
 
 
  Modification History
  ====================
  As part of a general review of asteroid holdings in February 2002, these
  data were examined and the existing labels edited slightly. In addition,
  a new format for the spectra was also provided.  No data values were
  changed, nor were the formats of the existing data files altered.
 
  In January 2005, the data set was again updated to comply with current
  standards, including the addition of a citation description.
