Asteroid taxonomic classifications.
Abstract
Since Asteroids was published (Gehrels 1979), there have been three taxonomic classification schemes developed and applied to the body of available color and albedo data (Tholen 1984; Barucci et al. 1987; Tedesco et al. 1989). Asteroid taxonomic classifications according to the first two of these schemes are reported in a table.
