CSIMPS: A Program for Deriving Asteroid Diameters and Albedos from IRAS Data Software

Abstract

The CSIMPS effort extends the work of the IMPS asteroid albedo and diameter determination by increasing the number of asteroids sampled. The IMPS processing effort was performed on 486 computer systems and was limited by disk size and memory. The CSIMPS effort removed these limitations and took advantage of more efficient processing. This report documents the software used to determine the asteroid albedos and diameters in CSIMPS.
