Photometry and shape modeling of Mars crosser asteroid (1011) Laodamia
An analysis of photometric observations of Mars crosser asteroid 1011
Laodamia conducted at Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen over
a twelve year interval (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and
2013) is made. Based on the obtained lightcurves the spin vector, sense of
rotation, and preliminary shape model of (1011) Laodamia have been determined
using the lightcurve inversion method. The aim of this investigation is to
increase the set of asteroids with known spin and shape parameters and to
contribute in improving the model in combination with other techniques and
sparse data produced by photometric asteroid surveys such as Pan-STARRS or
GAIA
