摘要:

我们提出了一个比较研究的红外小行星调查的基础上,从红外天文卫星(IRAS),日本红外卫星AKARI,和广域红外巡天探测器(WISE)的大小和轨道数据。我们的研究表明:(i)这三个测量员所探测到的有直径和半径资料的小行星总数为138,285颗,其中大部分是由WISE提供的;(ii)这三个测量员就1,993颗经常探测到的小行星所量度的直径和半径资料吻合良好,在1 σ偏差水平下,直径偏差在+/-10%以内,半径偏差在+/-22%以内。诚然,WISE提供了一大部分(>20%)已知小行星的大小和数量,小到几公里的天体,但我们建议IRAS和AKARI目录补偿了数百公里的较大小行星,特别是在主带区域。我们讨论了这三个目录的互补性,以方便使用这些数据集来表征小行星的物理性质。

英文摘要:

We present a comparative study of three infrared asteroid surveys based on the size and albedo data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), the Japanese infrared satellite AKARI, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Our study showed that: (i) the total number of asteroids detected with diameter and albedo information with these three surveyors is 138,285, which is largely contributed by WISE; (ii) the diameters and albedos measured by the three surveyors for 1,993 commonly detected asteroids are in good agreement, and within +/-10% in diameter and +/-22% in albedo at 1sigma deviation level. It is true that WISE offers size and albedo of a large fraction (>20%) of known asteroids down to a few km bodies, but we would suggest that the IRAS and AKARI catalogs compensate for larger asteroids up to several hundred km, especially in the main belt region. We discuss the complementarity of these three catalogs in order to facilitate the use of these data sets for characterizing the physical properties of minor planets.
