Lightcurve Analysis is Search of Binary Asteroids
Abstract
Observations of the following asteroids were done in collaboration with observatories and observers around the world. The results were high precision rotational periods that when further investigated could reveal the presence of a satellite in the system. The following periods were obtained. 1979 Sakharov, P = 7.5202 ± 0.0003 h; 2709 Sagan, P = 5.254 ± 0.001 h; 3034 Climenhaga, P1 = 2.737485 ± 0.000008 h, P2 = 18.954 ± 0.001 h; 3076 Garber, P = 2.7595 ± 0.0002 h; 3704 Gaoshiqi, P = 9.7727 ± 0.0005 h; (15430) 1998 UR31, P = 2.5273 ± 0.0002 h; (29729) 1999 BY1, P = 4.52779 ± 0.00006 h.
