   • Find that accuracy of SDSS magnitudes is 0.03 mag in V-band.

   • ISO LWS (43 to 197 micron) observations of Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, and Hygiea.
   • Apply a thermophysical model to the flux measurements to derive far-IR based diameter and albedo values.
   • Also find that the measured thermal rotational lightcurve of Vesta is well-matched to model predictions.
   • Find that the general agreement between the photometric observations and models is better than 5% for Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta and better than 30% for Hygiea.
