Rotational properties and lightcurves of the minor planets 94, 107, 197, 201, 360, 451, 511 and 702
Abstract
The asteroids 94 Aurora, 107 Camilla, 197 Arete, 201 Penelope, 360 Carlova, 451 Patientia, 511 Davida, and 702 Alauda were observed photoelectrically at ESO, La Silla, during the 1984 opposition. For 197 Arete, never previously observed, the rotation period and amplitude of the light variation were Psyn = 6h.54 and A = 0m.30, respectively. Asteroids 451 and 511 were observed in three nights confirming the known periods, and allowing the calculation (451) and checking (511) of the rotation axis directions.
