The SBNAF database

Public database of thermal infrared observations of small bodies in the solar system.


The database contains representative data of asteroid observations of large missions (e.g. those of Akari and IRAS) and later selected data of user provided data products form Herschel/PACS observations (main belt and near-Earth asteroids), and provides a user interface to access this database.
