Asteroid Lightcurve Analysis at the Center for Solar System Studies Palmer Divide Station: 2023 January-February
Abstract
CCD photometric observations of twelve asteroids were made at the Center for Solar System Studies Palmer Divide Station during 2023 January and February. Data analysis found a weak to moderate secondary period for the Hilda asteroids 1268 Libya and 2312 Duboshin, both possibly as sign of (unexpected) tumbling, the NEA (68359) 2001 IZ13 presents an unusual lightcurve with a very large amplitude of ~1.8 mag, and that NEA (98943) 2001 CC21 is a probable tumbler.
