Asteroid Densities Compilation


This data set consists of a compilation of asteroid masses, diameters, and bulk densities compiled by Dan Britt and appearing in his Asteroids III chapter on asteroid density and porosity. The table in the chapter is of course designed for visual inspection and the information has here been adapted to a fixed-format file. The information should still be accessible to visual inspection, however.

The "best estimate" file contains the current best estimate of mass, diameter, and bulk density for each asteroid, and the complete compilation file additionally gives historical measurements of mass and diameter, where available.

Download the Asteroid Densities data set as a zip file.
