Photometry of 4 main belt asteroids

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The set of more than 100 asteroids, for which spin parameters have been modelled using an amplitude, magnitude or epoch methods, showed a pronounced gap in the distribution of the asteroid spin axes.

Description

These spin axes are rarely aligned with the ecliptic plane. The number of asteroids with known spin parameters should be increased to allow for statistical investigations.

We gathered extensive photometric datasets on four selected main-belt asteroids to model their spin and shape parameters using the lightcurve inversion method. Our only criterion of selection was their observability for small telescopes.
