Lightcurves of Nineteen Asteroids
Abstract
Using a previously described workflow based on applying dozens of comparison stars from the ATLAS refcat catalog to each image, we have obtained and present lightcurves and synodic periods for nineteen asteroids. We also describe refinements to magnitude correction for airmass (altitude of the field of view), especially useful during periods of high extinction, for example, through atmospheric smoke resulting from recent forest fire events near the U.S. Pacific coast.
