The Asteroid Polarimetric Database (APD) is compiled by Dmitrij Lupishko      
of Kharkov University.  This database tabulates the original data comprising  
degree of polarization as a function of phase angle of the asteroid, and      
additional parameters where available.  This data set, together with          
'polar.tab' containing the TRIAD polarimetry, includes most if not all        
existing asteroid polarimetry data published by 1995.  The APD is an ongoing  
compilation and this data set will be updated yearly.                         
                                                                              
Parameters

The parameters tabulated in 'apd.tab' are filter, phase angle, degree         
of polarization, polarization position angle, position angle of the           
scattering plane, and both degree of polarization and position angle in the   
proper coordinate system measured from the perpendicular to the scattering    
plane.
