Lightcurve Analysis of Extremely Close Near-Earth Asteroid - 2012 DA14
Abstract
In this paper we present one of the first lightcurves of near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14. This is a very interesting near-Earth asteroid, which approached the Earth at a very close distance on Feb. 15 2013. From our measurements we find a rotational period of 9.485 ± 0.144 h with an amplitude of 1.79 mag.
