DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This data set presents observations of 125 asteroids taken by traditional photoelectric photometry as well as with CCD imaging systems, from 1985 to the end of 1993. From these observations, rotation periods are derived for 82 asteroids. V magnitudes are reported for almost all of the objects, and five color observations (a subset of the Eight Color Asteroid System) for 35 of the asteroids. Most of the objects observed are small main-belt asteroids or near-Earth asteroids. The data included here reproduce the data of Table 1 and Table 2 of Wisniewski et al. 1997: Wisniewski, W.Z., T.M. Michalowski, A.W. Harris, and R.S. McMillan 1997. Photometric Observations of 125 Asteroids. Icarus 126. 395-449. [WISNIEWSKIETAL1997]
