Lightcurve Analysis, Rotation Period and H-G Parameters Determination for 2727 Paton
Abstract
Data for asteroid 2727 Paton were collected from February 5th to March 4th 2019. The lightcurve analysis obtained has led to a bimodal curve with a period of 5.325 ± 0.001 h, amplitude 0.26 mag, with a full coverage. We have also obtained data in V and Rc filters, alternately, for color index V-R found to be 0.50 ± 0.06 mag. Maximum reduced magnitudes have been extrapolated from each session in order to determine H and G parameters, found to be, respectively, 12.46±0.05 mag and 0.25 ±0.09 mag. Values found are consistent with an S-type taxonomy.
