I'll recommend Jason Hatton's page on "Centaur Rocket Boosters":

 http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/1668/centaur.htm

It includes a list of Atlas Centaurs with a lot of data, and it 
has links to sites with more good information.

In general, for just about all known flashing/tumbling objects, 
there are the BWGS observing program,

 http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/program.rob

database:

 http://www2.satellite.eu.org/ppas8/ppas8.html

and recent observations:

 http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/program.ro

The BWGS data are available for download via Mike McCants' FTP 
site:
