Photoelectric photometry of 21 asteroids
Abstract
Photoelectric lightcurves of 21 asteroids are presented. The observations were carried out from 1978 to 1982 at the Astronomical Observatory of Torino (at the Astrophysical Observatory of Catania for 137 Meliboea). For 10 objects a reliable rotation period has been obtained, while for two others a rough estimate is given. In several cases the analysis of the observed amplitudes versus the ecliptic longitudes indicates the most favorable future oppositions for period and/or pole determination. For some asteroids transformations to UBV Standard System were performed.
