1453 Fennia: A Hungaria Binary
Abstract
Photometric observations of the Hungaria asteroid 1453 Fennia show that it is a binary with a primary rotation period of 4.4121 ± 0.0001 h. The amplitude of the primary lightcurve alone is 0.10 ± 0.01 mag. Mutual eclipse occultation events indicate a lower limit of the secondary-to-primary ratio of 0.28 ± 0.02. The orbital period of the system is 22.99 ± 0.01 h.
