Spin-Shape Model for 118 Peitho
Abstract
We present a shape and spin axis model for main-belt asteroid 118 Peitho. The model was achieved with the lightcurve inversion process, using combined dense photometric data acquired from five apparitions between 1977-2020 and sparse data from USNO Flagstaff. Analysis of the resulting data found a sidereal period P = 7.806397 ± 0.000009 hours and two mirrored pole solutions at (λ = 179°, β = 60°) and (λ = 345°, β = 39°) with an uncertainty of ± 10 degrees.
