Lightcurve Analysis for Ten Near-Earth Asteroids
Abstract
Lightcurves and amplitudes for ten near-Earth asteroids observed from Great Shefford Observatory during close approaches in 2018 and 2020 are reported: 2018 KF1, 2020 GF2, 2020 OH3, 2020 RA6, 2020 RZ6, 2020 TP1, 2020 TD8, 2020 UQ6, 2020 VZ6 and 2020 XX3. 2020 UQ6 is the largest, with H = 22.6, all others are small objects, H > 24.5. Seven have superfast rotation periods, P < 10 min, including 2020 RZ6 and 2020 TD8 with P < 1 min.
