DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : These albedos for 57 asteroids from stellar occultation diameters are published in Shevchenko and Tedesco (2006) [SHEVCHENKO&TEDES2006]. This data set is reproduced from Table 1 of that paper. The albedos are derived from the stellar occultation diameters compiled in the file occdiam.tab in version 3.0 of the PDS asteroid occultations data set, Dunham, D. W. and Herald, D., Asteroid Occultations. EAR-A-3-RDR-OCCULTATIONS-V3.0. NASA Planetary Data System, 2005 [DUNHAM&HERALD2005]. Error bars for the occultation diameters are provided in that file. Also included in the data set are the aspect data of the asteroids at the time of the occultation and the other parameters involved in the derivation. For a full description of the derivation of the albedos and a discussion of the results, see the original paper, Shevchenko and Tedesco (2006). Shevchenko, V.G. and E.F. Tedesco, Asteroid albedos deduced from stellar occultations, Icarus 184, 211-220, 2006.
