Description:
Photometric colours of Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System (MBOSS).
This compilation is based on over 2000 measurement epoch extracted
from over 100 articles, and is fairly complete as of Dec. 2011. The
average colours and additional information are available in the first
file. The second file lists the code of the references used for each
object. The third file lists the actual references in bibTex format.
The methods used to select the data and compute the averages are
described in the accompanying paper. The updated lists are available
online at http://www.eso.org/~ohainaut/MBOSS
Average photometric colours of Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System.
The table also lists their physico-dynamical class, the number of
measurement epochs included in the average, the absolute R-band
magnitude R(1,1,α), and the slope of the spectroscopic gradient
(in %/100nm). are presented in table2.dat.
For each MBOSS from table2.dat, table3.dat list of the references from
which photometric measurements were used. The table also lists the
number of measurement epochs included in the average.
