Redetermined Orbital Period for the Newly Discovered Near-Earth Binary Asteroid 15745 Yuliya
Abstract
A photometric observing campaign conducted in 2018 April and May by Aznar et al. revealed the near-Earth asteroid 15745 Yuliya as a binary system with an orbital period of 15.63 h. Later analysis by Pravec using the dense photometric data obtained in 2018 June by Benishek yielded a different orbital period of 11.735 h, or nearly commensurate with an Earth day.
