Lightcurves and Colors of Seven Small Nearearth Asteroids: 2023 LQ1 2023 LT1, 2023 MC, 2023 VQ5, 2023 VE6, 2023 VF6, 2023 VV7
Abstract
We conducted two observation campaigns (2023 June 16-19 and 2023 November 11-13), during which we obtained photometric observations of seven small near- Earth asteroids. Lightcurves for six of the asteroids clearly showed rapid rotation, while one was inconclusive. We also computed BVRI colors for all seven asteroids to determine their taxonomy by computing color indexes and relative reflectances and comparing the results with published BVRI asteroid measurements, SMASS/SMASSII asteroid spectra.
