Near-Earth Asteroid Lightcurve Analysis at the Center for Solar System Studies: 2019 July-September
Abstract
Lightcurves for 28 near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) obtained at the Center for Solar System Studies (CS3) from 2019 July to September were analyzed for rotation period, peak-to-peak amplitude, and signs of satellites or tumbling. 2059 Baboquivari, (90403) 2003 YE45, and 2016 AU130 are candidates for membership within the very wide binary asteroids class. The 2019 data led to a seemingly unambiguous period of 4.7906 h for (441987) 2010 NY65, which overturned previous results that have now been updated.
