Hale-Bopp Visual Lightcurve
This dataset contains visual magnitudes of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) that were obtained from the International Comet Quarterly and processed to provide a secular lightcurve from -7 au (pre-perihelion) to +8 au (post-perihelion). The original apparent magnitudes from 17 observers were corrected for geocentric distance and phase angle, and then combined in a systematic way that yielded a self-consistent consensus fit. In analyzing visual data from multiple observers, the questions inevitably arise of which data to reject, and under what justification, and whether combining data from observers, each with their own systematic errors, leads to a biased result. Without instrumental calibration, there is no certain answer to these questions, and such calibration is not available for the observations discussed here. We estimated the shifts with a self-consistent statistical approach, leading to a sharper light curve and improving the precision of the measured slopes. The dataset includes the original apparent magnitudes, those corrected for geocentric distance and phase angle, and the final shifted and weighted values. The final secular lightcurve is the best produced to date for comet Hale-Bopp. -

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). Bennu was observed both in 1999 at its discovery apparition, and in 2005 using the 12.6-cm radar at the Arecibo Observatory and the 3.5-cm radar at the Goldstone tracking station. 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). -

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. -

Asteroid Lightcurve Data Exchange Format (ALCDEF) Database V1.0
The Asteroid Lightcurve Data Exchange Format (ALCDEF) database contains metadata and data produced by asteroid time-series photometry by amateurs and professionals and submitted to the database using a format that follows ALCDEF standards definition. There are three related data files: metadata, lightcurve data, and - optionally - comparison stars data. The ALCDEF structure is based on the concept of "lightcurve blocks." Each block contains two (optionally, three) sections: metadata, compstars (optional), and lcdata. Because of the very large number of observations (9944193) for 23847 distinct objects, there are multiple files for the metadata, compstars, and lcdata sections. Each compstars and lcdata file covers the same objects that are in a given metadata file. For example, if the metadata file covers objects numbered 1 to 100, then the corresponding compstars and lcdata files will contain data for those objects only. The ordering of the records in a metadata file is based on the object's number with its name used as the first tie-breaker for unnumbered objects, i.e., when number = 0. For lightcurve blocks of the same object, the SessionDateTime, in ascending order, provides the second tie-breaker. If necessary, the Filter is used for the third tie-breaker. There are 222 data files in the archive, which is comprised of sets of three files (metadata, compstars, and lcdata) with each set having the same base name. The metadata files are split by ObjectNumber into groups, each in its own subdirectory under the root\data directory, containing no more than 100 objects for those numbered between 1 and 999, not more than 1,000 for those numbered between 1,000 and 9,999, and no more than 10,000 for those numbers greater than 10,000. Unnumbered asteroids are grouped into a single file. N.B. Since compstars are not required, it's possible that an entire set of metadata records, e.g., 5400000-550000, will have no compstars at all. The current PDS4 standard does not allow for 0 records in a file so, in this case, a single record is added to the compstars-xxx-xxx.csv that gives the default for a missing entry, e.g., -9 for an integer and '-' for an empty string. Each record in an alcdef_metadata_XXX file includes, among others, the object number and/or name and/or designation, the mid-date (UT) of the data associated with the given lightcurve block, the person submitting the data, contact information for the submitter, equipment used, the filter and magnitude band (e.g., Johnson V) used for the observations, and any corrections applied to the original, raw data (e.g., reduction to unity distances or transformed to a photometric standard such as Johnson-Cousins or SDSS). Each record in an alcdef_lcdata_XXX file gives the JD and magnitude (magnitude error, optional) for a single observation (data point) along with an ID number that ties the observation to a specific metadata record. Each record in an alcdef_compstars_XXX file provides details on one of the comparison stars used during the observations along with an ID number that ties the comp star data to a specific metadata record. Each record includes, among others, the name, RA/DEC (J2000.0), magnitude, and - if used - the color index of each star. Up to 10 comp stars are allowed for each metadata record. The archive includes an alcdef_standard.pdf file that provides extensive details about the ALCDEF standard such as keywords, appropriate values, and cross-checks run during submission to avoid having incomplete data. For example, if the magnitudes have been reduced to unity distances, whether or not a fixed value (at mid-time) was used or point-by-point. The file includes bookmarks for easy navigation to specific sections. Caveats to the data user ======================== The data have been submitted without verification of accuracy. Unlike astrometry, where checks can be run to see if the reported position is reasonable against current orbital parameters, the ALCDEF data should be taken "as-is" and so it is up to the end user to determine which individual lightcurve blocks are suitable for his purposes. The ALCDEF standard and software used to generate ALCDEF files have evolved since the format was introduced in 2010. Therefore, a number of fields that would normally have data in a recent entry will have the default value for "missing" or NULL data. Also, when magnitudes are simple differentials, e.g., +0.758, early data entry did not provide for the zero point that led to the differential value and so the actual "sky magnitude" for the data point is unknown. Also of concern for early submissions is the naming of individual comp stars. Initially, the software often used by amateurs used the X/Y coordinates of the star on a reference image for the name. Afterwards, that software used the Right Ascension and Declination (J2000.0) for the name, e.g., "102310.58 +213512.6". This was preferred over using the number/name from the reference star catalog, which was often Zone:Number and not always fixed depending of the catalog and/or its version. -

data_geodss collection for the "NEAR EARTH ASTEROID TRACKING" bundle
This is the data_geodss collection for the gbo.ast.neat.survey bundle. The Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) project began as a collaborative effort with the United States Air Force (USAF) in December 1995. It concentrated on the discovery and observations of near-Earth asteroids and comets, collectively called near-Earth objects (NEOs). NEAT ended its observations in April 2007. Throughout its history, NEAT utilized three 1m class telescopes - two on the Hawaiian island of Maui and the 1.2m Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, CA. Three unique cameras were developed and used throughout the program. These data are intended to be usable for photometric analysis of the various objects within the NEAT data. Most nights included calibration data, and the lists of photometric standard calibration fields. -
