Scientific paper

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (hereafter SDSS MOC) is a public, value-added catalog of SDSS asteroid observations. It provides exquisitely accurate astrometric and 5-band photometric measurements for over 200,000 objects brighter than r=21.5 and with observed angular velocity in the 0.05--0.5 deg/day interval. In addition, all observations are matched to known objects listed in the Bowel's ASTORB file, and to a database of proper orbital elements. I will review several detailed studies enabled by this catalog, including investigations of size distribution for main-belt asteroids and Jovian Trojans, and correlations between color, age and orbital elements for main-belt families.
