The lightcurve of Hungaria asteroid 6384 Kervin
Abstract
Hungaria asteroid 6384 Kervin is found to have a synodic lightcurve period of 3.6203±0.0003hr and amplitude 0.10±0.02mag. The period and size are such that the asteroid was a binary candidate. No signs of mutual events were seen; however, initial runs showed slight, but eventually unsubstantiated, indications of a secondary period. Observations at other viewing aspects are encouraged to rule out a binary nature completely.
