Lightcurves analysis for Hungaria asteroids 3854 George, 4440 Tchantches and 4674 Pauling
Abstract
As part of the ongoing program at the Palmer Divide Observatory to study the Hungaria group of asteroids, and in collaboration with several other observatories, the lightcurves for three Hungaria asteroids were found and analyzed. Of the three, 4674 Pauling was a previously known binary (Merline 2004) but its lightcurve period had not been measured. 3854 George had no previously reported lightcurve and showed possible hints of being binary. However, no conclusive evidence was produced. 4440 Tchantches had been previously studied by Warner (2003) and Behrend (2005). This study corrected or refined those previous results.
