Lightcurve of 3422 Reid Using Star Subtraction Techniques
Abstract
Lightcurves measurements obtained in June 2013 for asteroid 3422 Reid suggest 2.91 ± 0.02 h as an update to the rotation period. The observed amplitude was 0.52 ± 0.05 mag. A significant reduction in the point-to-point scatter within the lightcurve was achieved when star subtraction were employed to eliminate the contaminating effects of background stars.
