Lightcurve analysis for asteroids 436 Patricia, 3155 Lee, 4254 Kamel, 5940 Feliksobolev, (16558) 1991 VQ2, and (45656) 2000 EE45
Abstract
Lightcurve measurement and analysis of six asteroids was performed at the Palmer Divide Observatory at various times in 2002 and early 2003. The results, all synodic periods, were: 436 Patricia, 16.133h ± 0.005h, amplitude 0.30 ± 0.02m; 3155 Lee, 8.312h ± 0.002h, amplitude 0.22m ± 0.02m; 4254 Kamel, 2.739h ± 0.002h, amplitude 0.17m ± 0.02m; 5940 Feliksobolev, 6.578h ± 0.002h, amplitude 0.23m ± 0.02m; (16558) 1991 VQ2, 37.37h ± 0.02h, amplitude 0.22m ± 0.02m; and (45656) 2000 EE45, 6.4h ± 0.5h, amplitude 0.4m ± 0.05m. Of particular interest is the Vesta family member 3155 Lee, which proved to have four minima and maxima per rotation suggesting a highly irregular shape.
