Rotation Period Determination of 5889 Mickiewicz and 13063 Purifoy
Abstract
The main-belt asteroids, 5889 Mickiewicz and 13063 Purifoy were observed at Maidanak astronomical observatory, the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute, Uzbek Academy of Sciences from May 21 to June 27 in 2017 and July 10 to August 21 in 2018, respectively. Based on the lightcurve analysis of each asteroid, a synodic rotation period for 5889 Mickiewicz was 6.1412 ± 0.0543 hour (0.25524 ± 0.25814 day) and its light curve amplitude was 0.369 ± 0.054 mag, and a synodic rotation period of asteroid 13063 Purifoy was 10.3435 ± 0.2451 hour and its lightcurve amplitude was 0.858 ± 0.097 mag.
