Abstract
The DENIS programme (Deep European Near-Infrared Southern Sky Survey) has carried out a ground-based survey of the southern sky to provide an extensive I, J, K photometric catalog of point and extended sources. The limiting magnitudes of the three bands I, J, K centered at 0.8, 1.25 and 2.15 $\mu $m are respectively 18.5, 16.5 and 13.5. Given the short exposure time of the observations, asteroids have been included in the point source catalog as any other regular point-like object. We have searched the first 8000 asteroids on the basis of their predicted positions following a recognition procedure described previously (Baudrand et al. 2001); in this first release based on the DENIS data available in January 2001 we recovered 1233 asteroids. We present here the second release which provides 767 asteroids. Their I, J, K magnitudes are compiled in electronic tables available at the CDS.


Key words: infrared: solar system -- minor planets, asteroids -- surveys

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
