Lightcurve Analysis of the Near-Earth Asteroid 6063 Jason
Abstract
CCD photometric observations of the near-Earth asteroid 6063 Jason were made in 2017 June. A collaboration of five observers at widely-separated longitudes proved critical in finding a synodic period of 48.6 h, nearly commensurate with an Earth day, and confirming that the asteroid is most likely tumbling.
