VizieR Online Data Catalog: 1847 WISE-observed asteroids thermal properties (Hung+, 2022)

TPM-derived properties for 1,847 unique asteroids along with their associated input parameters and taxonomic and orbital classifications. A unique TPM fit is produced for every shape model, so individual asteroids with multiple shape models will have multiple TPM fits. The results of the TPM fits only included if they have both a well-defined minimum in chi-square over the sampled thermal inertia range (a ratio of at least 20 between the maximum and minimum chi-square over 0 to 9000 SI in thermal inertia) and a reduced chi-square value of 10 or less. Note that the reported chi-square value only directly accounts for the uncertainty in the thermal fluxes. The TPM does not account for any uncertainties in either the shape model or the rotation state of the asteroid, so the uncertainties on the derived parameters are best taken to be lower limits. The accuracy of the TPM-derived properties will depend on the quality of the thermal flux measurements and shape models, particularly in the case of the thermal inertia. TPM fits where the thermal flux measurements are partially saturated should be treated with caution. Shape models with more dense light curves may be regarded as being of higher quality and more likely to be closer to reality.
