2005-2006 fall observing campaign at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Abstract
CCD images recorded in October, November, and December 2005 using the Tenagra 32" telescope and four telescopes located at Rose-Hulman's Oakley Observatory yielded lightcurves and periods for five asteroids: 1967 Menzel has a period of 2.834±0.001h and an amplitude of 0.40mag; 3998 Tezuka has a period of 3.079±0.001h and an amplitude of 0.5mag; 4914 Pardina has a period of 4.142±0.001h and an amplitude of 0.3mag; (31060) 1996 TB6 has a period of 5.103±0.001h and an amplitude of 0.8mag; and (42264) 2001 QZ30 has a period of 9.77±0.01h and an amplitude of 1.1mag. Several asteroids produced inconclusive results due to low amplitudes and/or long periods: 154 Bertha, 2871 Schober, 1176 Lucidor, 549 Jessonda, 961 Gunnie, 6395 Hilliard, 760 Amenia, 406 Erna, 680 Genoveva, 1662 Hoffmann, and (14276) 2000 CF2.
