Rotation Period Determination for the Slow Rotator 3345 Tarkovskij
Abstract
Photometric observations of the main-belt asteroid 3345 Tarkovskij conducted by the authors over more than three months from 2013 December to 2014 March revealed its slow rotation rate and a synodic rotation period of 187.0 ± 0.1 hours. The corresponding bimodal lightcurve has an amplitude of 0.59 ± 0.02 magnitudes.
