Data Sets and Information
• bundle: Visual Imaging and Photometry of (29981) 1999 TD10 V2.0
  The outer solar system object (29981) 1999 TD10 was observed in the R band in September 2001, and in B, V, R, and I in October 2002. We derive B-V=0.80+/-0.05mag, V-R=0.48+/-0.05mag, and R-I=0.44+/-0.05mag. Combining our data with the data from Rousselot et. al. 2003, we derive a synodic period of 15.382+/-0.001hr in agreement with the period from Rousselot et. al. 2003. Our observations show no evidence of a coma.

• bundle: SPECTRA OF V-TYPE CANDIDATES FROM THE SDSS MOC
  These data are the results of a spectroscopic survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose photometric colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. The colors of these candidates were measured as part of the 3rd release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (Ivezic et al. 2001) [IVEZICETAL2001]. These spectra were obtained with two visible wavelength instruments: the Echellete Spectrograph and Imager (ESI, Sheinis et al. 2002) [SHEINISETAL2002] on Keck II and the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS, Lantz et al. 2004) [LANTZETAL2004] at the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. A subset of these data were published in Moskovitz et al. (2008a, 2008b) [MOSKOVITZETAL2008, MOSKOVITZETAL2008B].

• bundle: Asteroid (101955) Bennu Radar Shape Model V1.1
  We present the three-dimensional shape of near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu (provisional designation 1999 RQ36) based on radar images and optical lightcurves (Nolan et al., 2013).

Data obtained in both apparitions were used to construct a shape model of this object. Observations were also obtained at many other wavelengths to characterize this object, some of which were used to further constrain the shape modeling (Clark et al., 2011; Hergenrother et al., 2013; Krugly et al., 1999).

• bundle: PRIMASS-L V1.0
  PRIMASS-L is a spectral library that contains the results of the PRIMitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS). As of June 2021 this library contains spectra of about 642 asteroids from 10 families and two groups that had been sparsely studied before. 85% of our targets did not have published spectra and only 40% had visible photometry. PRIMASS-L contains spectra from a variety of ground-based facilities. This survey is ongoing and is expected to contain about 800 spectra by the end of 2022. Making PRIMASS-L publicly available at the Small Bodies Node of the Planetary Data System enables synergies with other data sets containing physical parameters (e.g. polarimetric properties and geometric albedo) and family affiliation. This will push the characterization of the families and primitive material to a new level and will improve our understanding of the evolution of our Solar System and other planetary systems.
