Lightcurve Analysis and Period Determination for Asteroid 16405 Testudo
Abstract
Photometric observations of the asteroid 16405 Testudo (1985 DA2) were conducted between 2024 April 3 - 16 using CCD telescopic images from Australia. Using lightcurve analysis, the rotation period for the asteroid was determined from the images in MPO Canopus. The rotation period found was 22.0 ± 0.1 h.
