Pole and Shape for the NEA (436724) 2011 UW158
Abstract
The near-Earth asteroid (436724) 2011 UW158 was followed by an international team of observers on 31 nights between 2015 Jun 17 and Sep 26. By using the standard lightcurve inversion method with the combined photometry data set, we obtained a unique spin axis solution with ecliptic coordinates λ = 290° ± 3°, β = -39° ± 2°, a sidereal period Ps = 0.610752 ± 0.000001 h, and a shape model qualitatively consistent with radar observations.
