Shape and Spin Axis Model for 161 Athor
Abstract
We present shape and spin axis model for main-belt asteroid 161 Athor. The model was obtained with lightcurve inversion process, using combined dense photometric data from apparition in 1979, 1980, 1982, 2008, 2009, 2010-11 and sparse data from USNO Flagstaff. Analysis of the resulting data found a sidereal period P = 7.280087 ± 0.000005 h and two mirrored pole solution at (λ = 350°, β = -6°) and (λ = 170°, β = 4°), with an error of ± 10 degrees.
