Lightcurve Analysis for 1238 Predappia
Abstract
Lightcurve analysis using MPO Canopus from two nights of observation of 1238 Predappia found a possible rotation period of 6.13 ± 0.04 h and lightcurve amplitude of 0.05 mag. Low lightcurve amplitude and period spectrum analysis did not provide enough evidence to confirm this rotation period. There are three possible conclusions to gather from these data: Predappia may have a nearly spherical shape, long rotation period, or pole-on orientation during the observation period.
