Asteroid Lightcurve Database (LCDB) V3.0
The asteroid lightcurve database (LCDB) is one of the more widely-used research tools
for those doing research that compares and contrasts physical characteristics of
asteroid spin axis rates, sizes, pole orientations, and/or taxonomic class - among
others. The v3.0 release includes lightcurve photometry results for more than 24500
targets. Each object has one to several dozen detail records that contain results
obtained by scanning the literature.
