Master list of well classified asteroids

Mark Hammergren has made the following list of 280 asteroids which we believe would make good calibrators for SDSS asteroid taxonomy. The vast majority of these objects are main-belt asteroids which have been observed as part of the Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey ("SMASS", Xu et al., 1995, Icarus 115, 1). A few of them are Trojans. Another few are near-Earth objects, with spectra obtained by Mark. The assigned taxonomic classes are in the Tholen system, and are initially taken from a list prepared by Dave Tholen in 1994, available from the Small Bodies Node of NASA's Planetary Data System. Some of the classifications are changed based on a quick look at the SMASS spectra. A few of the assigned classes require explanation: The purpose of this list is to coordinate observations in the SDSS color system of these calibrators. Please report any proposed or completed observations to Tom Quinn.

Given the above purpose, two objectives must be kept in mind when planing observations of these objects:

There are also tables of asteroids visible in May, 1997, sorted by number and RA.
