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).

Confidence Level Overview
=========================
Quality codes for the occultation diameters and absolute
magnitudes on which the albedos are based are given in the data
set. For further information about the confidence level of the
data, see the original paper, Shevchenko and Tedesco (2006).
