Comparison of the relative fraction of taxonomic types from surveys operating at visible wavelengths. The visible MITHNEOS data (R. P. Binzel et al. 2019), NEOSHIELD2 (D. Perna et al. 2018), and MANOS spectroscopy (M. Devogèle et al. 2019) provide sample sizes of 286, 146, and 210 objects, respectively. The fractions from the MANOS color sample (N = 189) for taxonomic types A, C, D, K, O, Q, R, S, T, V, and X are 0.016, 0.122, 0.032, 0.085, 0.053, 0.196, 0.042, 0.122, 0.037, 0.058, and 0.238, respectively. The error bars on each bin are ﹩\sqrt{N}﹩ Poisson errors.
