186 Celuta: a slowly spinning asteroid.
Abstract
The asteroid 186 Celuta was observed photoelectrically and photographically during August and September 1977. The synodic period was determined to be 0.816 day, and the light-curve amplitude was found to be about 0.4 magnitude. From the B-V color of 0.86 and U-B of 0.38, 186 Celuta is of compositional type S. The absolute magnitude was found to be 9.31.
