Photoelectric lightcurves and rotation period of the minor planet 148 Gallia.
Abstract
The minor planet 148 Gallia was observed during the 1977 opposition with a photoelectric photometer attached to the ESO 50 cm telescope at the European Southern Observatory. The lightcurve shows two maxima and minima with a total amplitude A V= 0.32 mag. The synodic period of rotation found is +26 and ranges 148 Gallia among the long period asteroids. Key words: asteroid - Minor Planet - lightcurve - 148 Gallia
