Photometric Observations and Analysis of 604 Tekmessa
Abstract
CCD observations of the main-belt asteroid 604 Tekmessa were recorded during the period 2010 September to December. Analysis of the lightcurve found a synodic period of P = 5.5596 ± 0.0001 h and amplitude A = 0.49 ± 0.01 mag. The phase curve referenced to mean magnitude suggests the absolute magnitude and phase slope parameter H = 9.435 ± 0.014 and G = 0.112 ± 0.013. The phase curve referenced to maximum light suggests H = 9.279 ± 0.018 and G = 0.165 ± 0.017.
