Asteroid Lightcurve Analysis at CS3-Palmer Divide Station: 2018 July-September
Abstract
Lightcurves for 12 main-belt asteroids were obtained at the Center for Solar System Studies-Palmer Divide Station (CS3-PDS) from 2018 July-September. Analysis of a larger amplitude lightcurve in 2018 for 5175 Ables lead to new analysis and results for earlier apparitions. The Hungaria asteroid (37378) 2001 VU76 is possibly a super-fast rotator with a period and size that put it just above the so-called “spin barrier.”
