CCD observations and period determination of fifteen minor planets
Abstract
We have determined the periods of fifteen minor planets using differential photometry. Eleven of these minor planets had unknown periods, one had an uncertain period, and three had well-known periods. We observed a minimum of two epochs for each object in order to construct composite lightcurves. The periods ranged from 3.7 to 15.2 hours. The objects we report results for are: 174 Phaedra, 228 Agathe, 342 Endymion, 354 Eleonora, 365 Corduba, 373 Melusina, 575 Renate, 1084 Tamariwa, 1171 Rusthawelia, 1388 Aphrodite, 1501 Baade, 1544 Vinterhanseni, 1645 Waterfield, 1799 Koussevitzky, and 2097 Galle.
