[Preliminary. Adapted from the ADC catalog file]
For the IRAS
Asteroid Survey, 7,015 sightings from 1,811 individual asteroids
that were of sufficient quality have been accepted into the asteroid
catalog. Diameters, albedos and various technical parameters have been
derived for these minor planets. The IRAS comet catalog contains the
detection history for each comet reliably detected in the ADAS search.
Positions were searched for all periodic comets that passed near the
Sun or Earth during the period from 1982 to 1985 plus all comets that
were observed during that period.
