VizieR Online Data Catalog: List of new asteroid models (Durech+, 2019)
Abstract
Table A.1: List of new asteroid models. For each asteroid, we list one or two pole directions in the ecliptic coordinates (λ, β), the sidereal rotation period P, the rotation period PLCDB from the LCDB and its quality code U (if available), the number of sparse photometric data points NL and NG in the Lowell database and Gaia DR2, respectively, and the method which was used to derive the rotation period: C - convex models, E - ellipsoids, CE - both methods gave the same unique period. The accuracy of the sidereal rotation period P is of the order of the last decimal place given. For some asteroids, the LCDB contains a note about the rotation state or binarity: Here A means an ambiguous period; B stands for a binary system; T means tumbling - a non-principal-axis rotation; T0 means that the theoretical tumbling damping time scale (Pravec et al., 2014Icar..233...48P ) is long enough that tumbling might be expected, but observations are not sufficient to substantiate either tumbling or not tumbling; T- means that the tumbling damping time scale is long enough that tumbling might be expected, but observations indicate that the object is not tumbling; and T+ indicates that the tumbling damping time scale is short enough that tumbling would not seem likely, however observations indicate that it may be tumbling or actually is tumbling.
