Spectra of V-Type Candidates from the SDSS MOC
These data are the results of a spectroscopic survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose photometric colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. The colors of these candidates were measured as part of the 3rd release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (Ivezic et al. 2001). These spectra were obtained with two visible wavelength instruments: the Echellete Spectrograph and Imager on Keck II and the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph at the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. A subset of these data were published in Moskovitz et al. (2008a, 2008b).
