Lightcurve Photometry, H-G Parameters, and Estimated Diameter for 15621 Erikhovland
Abstract
Photometric observations of main-belt asteroid 15621 Erikhovland were made over seven nights during May and June 2013 with a filtered system. The resulting synodic period is 5.3426 ± 0.0001 h with a high amplitude of 0.81 ± 0.02 mag. The color index V-R = 0.33 ± 0.03 mag. The measured absolute visual magnitude, Hv = 12.14 ± 0.09 mag. and the slope parameter, G = 0.08 ± 0.09, are consistent with a low albedo object, e.g., type C. The diameter is estimated to be D = 20 ± 3 km.
