Physical models of ten asteroids from an observers' collaboration network
Abstract
Aims:We present physical models of ten asteroids obtained by means of lightcurve inversion. A substantial part of the photometric data was observed by amateur astronomers. We emphasize the importance of a coordinated network of observers that will be of extreme importance for future all-sky asteroid photometric surveys.
Methods: The lightcurve inversion method was used to derive spin states and shape models of the asteroids.
Results: We derived spin states and shape model for ten new asteroids:
