Photometric observations of 1856 Ruzena
CCD photometric observations of asteroid 1856 Rùžena were taken over a span of 10 nights in April 2018, yielding a lightcurve with a rotation period of 5.960 ± 0.003h and an amplitude of 0.65 mag.peer-reviewe
Lightcurve analysis and rotation period of 6372 Walker
6372 Walker is a main-belt asteroid discovered in 1985 by C.S. Shoemaker at Palomar Observatory and was last observed in May of 2018 (JPL, 2019). It has a diameter of 42.13 km and orbital period of 5.68 yr.peer-reviewe
Rotation period determination and lightcurve analysis of Asteroid 3736 Rokoske
Observations of the main-belt 3736 Rokoske were conducted over 8 nights between 2022 March 25 and 2022 April 23. Images were collected using three telescopes in the USA, Malta and Italy. 3736 Rokoske has a diameter of 19.5km and an absolute magnitude of 11.15. The phase lightcurve resulted in a rotation period of 17.411+-0.004h and 0.10+-0.02 mag amplitude.peer-reviewe
Lightcurve analysis and rotation period determination of Asteroid 1466 Mundleria
Photometric observations of asteroid 1466 Mundleria were conducted using telescopes located in New Mexico, Italy and Malta between 2022 Mar 4 and Apr 25. An analysis of these data yielded a rotation period of 89.280+- 0.065h.peer-reviewe
Lightcurve analysis of five main-belt asteroids : 3446 Combes,(9410) 1995 BJ1,(17780) 1998 FY13,(24491) 2000 YT 123, and 28341 Bingaman
An observing campaign was conducted among teams at
the University of Maryland, College Park, and in Malta
to determine the rotation period of 3446 Combes during
2019 March and April. Lightcurve analysis using MPO
Canopus of the asteroid was conducted in order to
determine its rotation period. Using the eight nights of
data, 3446 Combes was found to have a rotation period
of 5.6990 ± 0.0005 h and an amplitude of 0.18 mag. The
University of Maryland team also observed four
additional asteroids that serendipitously appeared in the
images: (9410) 1995 BJ, (17780) 1998 FY13, (24491)
2000 YT123, and 28341 Bingaman. These were
observed only one night each and only the raw data for
them are presented.peer-reviewe
