Content description based on the data set catalog file description for the PDS3 version, EAR-A-VARGBDET-5-WISAST-V1.0

Note: for PDS3 data sets migrated to PDS4, the following text is taken
verbatim from the data set description and confidence level note of the
PDS3 data set catalog file. In these cases, some details may not be correct
as a description of the PDS4 bundle.
                                                           
    This data set presents observations of 125 asteroids taken by             
    traditional photoelectric photometry as well as with CCD imaging          
    systems, from 1985 to the end of 1993.  From these observations,          
    rotation periods are derived for 82 asteroids.  V magnitudes are          
    reported for almost all of the objects, and five color                    
    observations (a subset of the Eight Color Asteroid System) for 35         
    of the asteroids.  Most of the objects observed are small                 
    main-belt asteroids or near-Earth asteroids.                              
                                                                              
    The data included here reproduce the data of Table 1 and Table 2
