    • ASTEROID LIGHTCURVE DERIVED DATA

    Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

    This is a compilation of published rotational parameters derived from lightcurve data for asteroids, based on the Warner et al. (2009) Asteroid Lightcurve Database. This is the version as of February 3, 2017. In addition to reported rotational parameters by individual papers, there is a summary file with the values adopted by Harris, Warner, and Pravec as the most likely correct values for each asteroid. The data set also contains files listing known binary asteroids, asteroid spin axes, and 'tumbling' asteroids.
