# MMT Snapshot
Snapshot of MMT[^1] database.
Last update: May 2025
## File structure
- `rso.csv` - object information
- `data/` - directory containing tracks measurements in `.parquet` files
- `bulk_idx.txt` - contains the index of last bulk file downloaded from the MMT database
## Object information
- `mmt_id` - Identification number of the object in MMT database.
- `norad_id` - Norad identification number of the object.
- `name` - Name of the object.
- `country` - Country of origin.
- `variability` - Variability: "non-variable", "aperiodic", "periodic".
## Tracks measurements
Parquet files are structured with the following fields:
- `id` - Identification number of the record.
- `norad_id` - Norad identification number of the object.
- `period` - Apparent rotational period in seconds.
- `timestamp` - Start of the observation timestamp in the format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
- `name` - Name of the object.
- `variability` - Variability: 0 (nonvariable), 1 (aperiodic), 2 (periodic).
- `time` - A list of observation times.
- `mag` - A list of measured standardized magnitudes to 1000 km distance.
- `phase` - A list of measured phase angles in degrees.
- `distance` - A list of measured altitudes in km.
- `filter` - A list of filters used: 0 (uknown), 1 (clear), 2 (pol), 4 (V), 8(R), 16(B).
Tracks measurements are stored in `.csv` files with containing the following fields: time,stdMag,phase,distance,filter.
