These data are the results of a spectroscopic survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose photometric colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. The colors of these candidates were measured as part of the 3rd release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (Ivezic et al. 2001) [IVEZICETAL2001]. These spectra were obtained with two visible wavelength instruments: the Echellete Spectrograph and Imager (ESI, Sheinis et al. 2002) [SHEINISETAL2002] on Keck II and the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS, Lantz et al. 2004) [LANTZETAL2004] at the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. A subset of these data were published in Moskovitz et al. (2008a, 2008b) [MOSKOVITZETAL2008, MOSKOVITZETAL2008B].
