Database of selected optical contants to be used in compositional modeling of solar system minor bodies.

All data of the optical constants are stored in a single HDF file, for easy sharing and access of the data.

This repository is focused only on the maintainment of database, to see compositional models access github.com/depra/cana

This database is currently under construction, the contents of the database are incomplete and used for testing purposes only. A version of database with carefully selected optical constants and their metadata will be available soon.

• h5py
• pandas
• numpy

If you have Anaconda or pip installed:

pip install git+https://github.com/cana-asteroids/sdoc.git

For a example of how to access the database and search for a optical constant, take a look at notebooks.

A paper with the description of the database and the compositional modeling techniques are in preparation. However, if you use the optical constants inserted in the db, make sure to cite the references from where the optical constants were extracted.
