Photometric Observations of Fast Move and Fast Rotate Asteroids
Abstract
I present the results from my short-exposure (Texp≤ 10 s) photometric observations of faint asteroids, including fast-rotate and fast-move NEA. I introduce deep data analysis method to get quality outcome using small telescopes equipped with quick camera, widely available today even for amateurs. I show how I use statistical analysis of big amount of frames to compensate SNR deficiency. Light curves and determined period of 2018 UY1 (NEA super-fast rotator and fast-mover; P = 98.05±0.04 s) and (3040) Kozai (Mars Crosser; P = 4.5133±0.0002 h) are presented.
