Asteroid Lightcurve Analysis at the Center for Solar System Studies: Palmer Divide Station 2022 September-November
Abstract
CCD photometric observations of eight asteroids were made at the Center for Solar System Studies between 2022 September and November. Data analysis showed that at least three objects appeared to have more than one period. The Hungaria-space 2049 Grietje has a dominant period of 41.31 h and two secondary periods of 12.96 h and 19.91 h. Hungaria dynamic family member 5841 Stone shows a secondary period of 20.37 h, along with a well-established primary period of 2.888 h. 6901 Roybishop, another Hungaria-space asteroid, appeared to have a secondary period of 14.302 h, adding to the suspicions raised by observations made by the author in 2008.
