Serendipitous Asteroids
Abstract
We present here a byproduct of a large photometric survey of slow rotators led since the year 2013. The observations within the campaign sometimes serendipitously registered additional asteroids moving in the same field with the main target. Here we gather all 24 such asteroids, which had strong enough S/N, and also presented any traceable brightness variations, and we estimate their rotation periods and amplitudes. For best covered lightcurves we also present their plots. For ten asteroids there were apparently no previous period determinations. All the lightcurve data for these serendipitous asteroids are now uploaded to ALCDEF for the use in future spin/shape studies.
