PRIMASS-L Spectra

PRIMASS-L is a spectral library that contains the results of the PRIMitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS). As of the end of 2023 this library contains 438 visible and 264 near-infrared spectra of primitive asteroids from 10 families and two groups that had been sparsely studied before. PRIMASS-L contains spectra from a variety of ground-based facilities.

Making PRIMASS-L publicly available at the Small Bodies Node of the Planetary Da ta System enables synergies with other data sets containing physical parameters (e.g. polarimetric properties and geometric albedo) and family affiliation. This will push the characterization of the families and primitive material to a new level and will improve our understanding of the evolution of our Solar System an d other planetary systems.
