Rotation Period Determination for 299 Thora
Abstract
This is the first comprehensive photometric investigation ever made of 299 Thora. We find a synodic rotation period 273.6 ± 0.2 hours, amplitude 0.39 magnitudes. Inaccuracies in calibration star magnitudes and possible changes in the shape of the lightcurve through the two months of observation prevent finding any possible tumbling behavior.
