Photometry of 25 Large Main-belt Asteroids with TRAPPIST-North and -South
Abstract
Densely sampled lightcurves of 25 large main-belt asteroids were obtained with the TRAPPIST-South (TS) and TRAPPIST-North (TN) telescopes from 2017 to 2021. Those observations took place in support of an ESO large program aiming at observing a representative sample of large asteroids with the ESO VLT for precise shape determination from adaptive optics high-resolution imaging. Synodic rotation periods and lightcurve amplitudes have been determined for all but one target. Six asteroids were observed during two different apparitions. The data have been submitted to the ALCDEF database.
