Asteroid Taxonomy V6.0 (1 data product)

THOLEN CLASS * Taxonomic classification according to the method of Tholen (1984, 1989). An entry with the value of '***' indicates an object with unusual colors not classifiable into any of the defined classes.	BARUCCI CLASS * Taxonomic classification according to the method of Barucci et al. (1987).	TEDESCO CLASS * Taxonomic classification according to the method of Tedesco et al. (1989).	HOWELL CLASS * Taxonomic classification according to the method of Howell (1994).	SMASS CLASS * Taxonomic classification based on the spectra of the SMASS survey (Xu et al. 1995).	BUS CLASS * Taxonomic classification based on the spectra of the SMASSII survey (Bus and Binzel 2002). An entry with a value of '***' indicates the object has an unusual spectrum not classifiable into any of the defined classes.	S3OS2 CLASS TH * Taxonomic classification based on the spectra of the S3OS2 survey and using the method of Tholen (1984). For details of how the method was applied, see [LAZZAROETAL2004] (Icarus 172, 179-220.)	S3OS2 CLASS BB * Taxonomic classification based on the spectra of the S3OS2 survey and using the method of Bus and Binzel (2002). For details of how the method was applied, see [LAZZAROETAL2004] (Icarus 172, 179-220.)	BUS DEMEO CLASS * Taxonomic classification from DeMeo et al. (2009). Note that a 'w' following the taxonomic class indicates a slope greater than 0.25, and a ':' indicates a questionable classification because of low quality/questionable data.

IRAS Minor Planet Survey V6.0 (1 data product)

SIMPS MEAN ALBEDO * Mean derived geometric albedo on the H,G system from the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS).	SIMPS MEAN ALBEDO UNC * 1-sigma uncertainty in the mean derived geometric albedo from the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS), due solely to the precision of the IRAS flux data.	SIMPS MEAN DIAMETER * Mean diameter from the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS), computed from H and SIMPS_MEAN_ALBEDO (KILOMETERS)	SIMPS MEAN DIAMETER UNC * 1-sigma uncertainty in the mean diameter from the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS), due solely to the precision of the IRAS flux data.	SIMPS PLC * Probability of lightcurve variation, estimated in the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey (SIMPS). This quantity is used as a measure of the probability that a lightcurve effect is present in the data. Values are constrained to be between 0.10 and 1.00. Less than significant variation is assigned a value of 0.10.
