Rotation Period Determination and Lightcurve Analysis of Asteroid 3736 Rokoske
Abstract
Observations of the main-belt asteroid 3736 Rokoske were conducted over 8 nights between 2022 March 25 and 2022 April 23. Images were collected using three telescopes in the USA, Malta, and Italy. 3736 Rokoske has a diameter of 19.5 km and an absolute magnitude of 11.15. MPO Canopus was used for calibration and lightcurve analysis. The phased lightcurve resulted in a rotation period of 17.411 ± 0.004 h and 0.10 ± 0.02 mag amplitude.
