Lightcurve Photometry Opportunities October-December 2007
Abstract
We present here four lists of “targets of opportunity” for the period 2007 October-December. The first list is those asteroids reaching a favorable apparition during this period, are <15m at brightest, and have either no or poorly constrained lightcurve parameters. By “favorable” we mean the asteroid is unusually brighter than at other times. In many cases, a favorable apparition may not come again for many years. The goal for these asteroids is to find a well-determined rotation rate, if at all possible. Don’t hesitate to solicit help from other observers at widely spread longitudes should the initial finding for the period indicated that it will be difficult for a single station to find the period.
