Abstract
Twenty-three solar system minor bodies were measured photometrically between 2005 February and 2011 July using robotic telescopes in North America, Europe, and Australia. From the data obtained we determine for these objects their basic physical proprieties, such as Johnson- Cousins BVRI colors, H-G parameters, diameters, and a Tholen taxonomic classification. We found that 70% of our near-Earth asteroid sample belong to S-, Q-, X-, and C-complexes; 2009 BH81 may be a candidate to a new A type asteroid; 2010 RF12 is an S-type and it has absolute magnitude H = 28.46 ± 0.05, G = 0.31 ± 0.06 and D = 6 ± 1 m; the possible dust envelope around (596) Scheila and P/2010 A2 have similar colors.
