Photoelectric Photometry of 21 Asteroids V. ZAPPAL,A,, F. SCALTRITI, AND M. DI MARTINO Astronomical Observatory of Torino, 10025 Pino Torinese, Turin, Italy Received F e b r u a r y 21, 1983; revised June 13, 1983 Photoelectric lightcurves of 21 asteroids are presented. T h e observations were carried out from 1978 to 1982 at the Astronomical O b s e r v a t o r y of Torino (at the Astrophysical O b s e r v a t o r y of Catania for 137 Meliboea). For l0 objects a reliable rotation period has been obtained, while for two others a rough estimate is given. In several c a s e s the analysis of the o b s e r v e d amplitudes v e r s u s the ecliptic longitudes indicates the m o s t favorable future oppositions for period and/or pole determination. For s o m e asteroids transformations to U B V Standard S y s t e m were performed.

ing night. In this case we adjusted our vertical scale by sliding the lightcurves to obtain the best fit, The ordinates are magnitudes (the zero of the scale being at maximum) and the abscissae are UT hours, not corrected for light time, and refer to the observing night whose date is reported in the figure. Sometimes at the end of the curves groups of points are repeated for reasons of completeness. When no reliable value of the period was found, the ordinates represent magnitude differences in the instrumental system. In Table II we summarize our results for the observed asteroids, and for each object the taxonomic type and the diameter are reported at the beginning.

INTRODUCTION

This paper presents photoelectric lightcurves of 21 asteroids. Eight of them are Stype, 9 are C-type, 1 is M-type, and 3 are not of well-defined classification, i.e., CEU, CU, and CMEU. The range of sizes is 20 to 208 km. Types and diameters are taken from Bowell et al. (1979). Among these objects, 10 previously unknown rotation periods were determined accurately, while for two others only a tentative value was obtained. The observations cover the period from 1978 to 1982, and were performed with three telescopes: the 45 and 105-cm reflectors of Torino Observatory, and the 91-cm reflector of Catania Observatory. The last one was used only for 137 Meliboea. The observing and reduction procedure was the standard one, based on consecutive measurements of selected comparison star, sky reading, and asteroid. In some cases transformation to the UBV System was performed by means of groups of standard stars taken mainly from Blanco et al. (1968). All the aspect and magnitude data are listed in Table I; the last two columns give the identification of the adopted comparison stars and the telescope's size. We present also a set of 29 figures. When possible a composite lightcurve is shown, adopting different symbols for each observ-

ANALYSIS OF THE LIGHTCURVES

8 Flora Flora is classified as a S-type object, with a diameter of 160 km. It is considered the largest remnant of one of the Hirayama families, and therefore the knowledge of its rotational properties is of the highest importance. However, even though observations of this bright object were performed during five oppositions, no reliable value of its rotational period was deduced. It was observed photoelectrically for the first time by Ahmad (1954), during the 1953 apparition, at a longitude of about 157°. The amplitude of the light variation was very small (about 0.02 mag), suggesting a pole-on view 325 0019-1035/83 $3.00 Copyright © 1983by AcademicPress, Inc.

Possible equatorial view at h = 0 ° + 20°(180 ° + 200 °) Lightcurve resembling that of an eclipsing binary The shorter period implies that the s e c o n d a r y m i n i m u m is not present or that it is m a s k e d by a broad irregular maximum

Long period Also the double period (23.h75) is possible

or a quasi-spherical shape. Van HoutenGroeneveld and Van Houten (1958) repeated the observations during 1955-1956 at a longitude of about 118°. The light variation in this case also had a small amplitude (about 0.04 mag); however, these authors could suggest a very tentative period of about 13.6 hr. This value seemed confirmed by Veverka (1971), based on observations performed during 1969. The amplitude was again very small (about 0.04 mag), while the longitude was nearly 95°. The observations of the present paper refer to the 1979 opposition, when the longitude was 137° and the amplitude less than 0.02 mag. The lightcurves obtained, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, seem to be against the suggested period, but cannot give additional information for its determination. More important were the 1980 observations carried out by Harris (1981, private communication), who re-

ported an amplitude of about 0.1 mag at a longitude of about 240° . However, he also failed to obtain a reliable period, suggesting a possible value of the order of 8-9 hr, not in disagreement with our lightcurves. The relatively large amplitude obtained in the 1980 opposition confirms that all the previous observations were performed very close to a pole-on view and that the shape of Flora is not as spherical as we formerly believed.

FIG. 2. Lightcurve of 8Flora obtained on January 31-February 1, 1979.

Figure 3 shows the amplitude-longitude plot and a tentative trend for this asteroid. It appears that the amplitude should be the largest, and therefore the best conditions for identifying the rotational period should be optimized at longitudes 40-60 ° or 220240°. The next favorable oppositions will be those of May 1983 (longitude -220 °) and October 1984 (longitude -20°). Due to the high physical interest of this object, we strongly suggest performing a coordinated campaign during these apparitions. Figure 3 gives a rough indication for a pole longitude close to 120-160 ° or 300340°.

11 Parthenope This asteroid (S-type, D = 155 km) shows problems similar to those of 8 Flora. After three oppositions no reliable period can be suggested, Van Houten-Groeneveld and Van Houten (1958) observed it in 1956 for the first time. They suggested a period of about 10.7 hr, doubling their longest run, in which maxima seemed to be present at the beginning and at the end. However, the real presence of these extrema is highly doubtful. In 1960, Wood and Kuiper (1963)

observed Parthenope again, but could not give further information on its rotational properties. They only stated that their lightcurves were not against the suggested period. In this paper we present two lightcurves performed during the 1980 opposition. The longest of them (April 2-3) seems to disagree with the suggested rotation because the decrease, lasting about 4 hr, suggests a period at least of the order of 16 hr. However, this last conclusion can be valid only if the complete lightcurve is really symmetric, and we do not know if this is true in the case of Parthenope. Our observations are shown in Fig. 4, while in Fig. 5 amplitudes are plotted against longitudes, in the same way as for Flora. The only favorable opposition, with an expected amplitude of about 0.1 mag, will be that of December 1986. Also in this case a coordinated campaign will be very useful. For 11 Parthenope we could suggest a pole longitude of about 20 or 200°.

60 Echo Our single-night lightcurve, performed on November 1979 and shown in Fig. 6, cannot help in determining the period of this small (D = 52 km) S-type object, which is already supposed to be very long. A slow rotation was pointed out by Gehrels and • wings (1962), who suggested a tentative value of about 30 hr, and by Schober (1979, private communication), who hazarded a period of about 52 hr. Harris and Young's data (1983), even if affected by a suspected variability of the comparison star, seem to confirm this latter value. However, further

observations are needed. The amplitude of our lightcurve is about 0.03 mag. 63 Ausonia

63 Ausonia is classified as a S-type object with a diameter of about 94 km. In 1976 a considerable number of lightcurves was obtained by Scaltriti and Zappal~ (1977). They found a rotational period of 9.h297 -+ 0.h001 and a maximum amplitude of 0.47 mag; moreover a V0 (I,0) magnitude of 7.49 mag and a phase coefficient of 0.035 were deduced. In 1980 Lagerkvist (1981) reobserved this asteroid on two nights, confirming the period, but obtaining a much higher amplitude of about 0.95 mag, quite uncommon for a main-belt object.

The high amplitude and the regular trend of the complete lightcurve of 63 Ausonia led us to list this asteroid as a candidate for pole determination (Zappalh, 1981; Zappal~ and Scaltriti, 1982) and therefore observations at different longitudes have been planned. In the present paper we report those obtained in 1981, on October 27-28 (Fig. 7). The amplitude was 0.81 mag. Some preliminary considerations can be made: (a) The V0 magnitudes obtained in the three oppositions, when the aspect was surely quite different, as confirmed by the amplitudes, satisfy the same magnitude-phase relation, implying that Ausonia should have a cigarlike shape; i.e., the b/c ratio between the shortest axes is very close to 1.

(c) The pole longitude should be about 130 or 310°, but other observations, mainly from 60 to 140° or 240320°, are needed to determine a reliable value of the rotational axis direction.

Indeed Harris (1982, private communication) suggested a very short rotational period, i.e., 5.356 hr, in good agreement with the typical rotation of this group. This value, obtained assuming as usual two maxima and minima per cycle, could be confirmed by a previous photographic observation by Lagerkvist and SjOlander (1979).

reobserved by us and by Harris (1981, private communication). Our single-night lightcurve cannot say anything more on the period, but Harris could obtain unambiguously a value of 7.22 hr, with a very low amplitude of 0.03 mag. Our run is shown in Fig. 1I. The amplitude-longitude trend indicates that the maximum possible amplitude should occur for longitudes very close to 140° (320°). Therefore the most favorable oppositions for pole and shape determination are foreseen for 1987 (276°) and 1990 (118°).

during the 1978 apparition (Haupt, 1980). Only a broad maximum and a secondary peak were covered during this run and therefore no reliable period could be deduced. The present paper reports four nights of observation, which seem to infer only one possible period, namely 10h.16 --+ 0h.05, with an amplitude of 0.18 mag.

This small (D = 76 kin) C-type object was never photometrically observed before 1980. During this opposition we obtained two lightcurves, showing two maxima apparently of different shape. Taking into account the duration of the increase and decrease of the light variation, we could suggest a period longer than about 25 hr, but 26.h3 or 33h.8 might be plausible values. The first one is partially confirmed by Harris (1981, private communication), who reports a period of about 26 hr. From our lightcurves, presented in Figs. 13 and 14, the amplitude should be at least 0.06 mag.

nights, give a period of 8.h32 ± 0h.02, in good agreement with Yang's result. The composite lightcurve is presented in Fig. 17. Considering the amplitude obtained in both oppositions and the corresponding longitudes, a dramatic change in amplitude during a very small longitude interval (about 40°) is suggested. Since the phase angles were very small for both sets of observations, and therefore no amplitudephase effect is expected, the variation of amplitude should be completely due to the change in aspect. Consequently, a much higher amplitude (-0.4 mag) could be expected at longitudes between 180 and 200°. For an opposition close to the equatorial view we must wait until 1989.

Harris (1981, private communication) reported a period of 18.75 hr with an amplitude of about 0.10 mag. Therefore, our run should cover an interval slightly smaller than half the rotation period.

tion about the rotational properties is given only by Harwood (1921), who reported a period of about 0. ! day, assuming one extremum per cycle. Doubling it, we obtain a period of about 5 hr, as listed by Tedesco (1979). This tentative value must be now ruled out, according to the two consecutive lightcurves obtained by us in 1979. Two possible rotation periods result from their analysis: 8h.67 --+ 0h.04 or 12.h83 --+ 0h06. Adopting the shorter one, no secondary minimum appears; however, this could be masked in the very irregular broad maximum. If we remember the cases of 37 Fides (Zappal~ et al., 1983), 16 Psyche (Tedesco et al., 1983), 14 Irene (Scaltriti et al., 1981b), etc., this possibility cannot be disregarded. The composite curve is shown in Fig. 19. Obviously also a double period could be accepted. On the other hand, Psy, = 12h.83can be adopted and the consequent composite curve is shown in Fig. 20. In this case the secondary minimum, even if not covered by the observations, should occur at about 4 - 5 h UT. Both periods seem plausible to us, and therefore further observations are needed, mainly taking into account that Palma is one of the very few large asteroids without a reliable determination of its rotational properties. In both cases the total amplitude is about 0.12 mag.

for small asteroids are not uncommon, as evidenced by Farinella et al. (1981b) and strengthened by some new results (Schober et al., 1982; Dermott et al., 1983). Figures 24 and 25 present the observed lightcurves.

ing into account their magnitude level, corrected for heliocentric and geocentric distances (the comparison star was always the same), we could state that the same minimum was seen in the first and third night, the second one being much deeper. Figure 23 presents the observational situation where the continuous lines refer to the observed intervals: only two periods are possible. The first one might be 15.8 hr, shown by the dashed line, but it seems very unlikely because of the " j u m p " needed at about 10h UT on November 17. Therefore we prefer to adopt a longer period, shown by the dotted line; it results in 4795. Very roughly we could also estimate a total amplitude of 0.6-0.7 mag. Very long periods

674 Rachele

674 Rachele is a S-type asteroid, having a diameter of 96 km. Harris and Young (1980) were not able to determine the period, but they stated that it should be longer than 30 hr. Our lightcurves, performed in 1978 and shown in Fig. 26, can only confirm this slow rotation, without any further contribution for solving the problem. Future observations are needed.

712 Boliviana

This medium-size object (D = 128 km) is classified as a C type. We observed it on three nights during 1980. Its lightcurve resembles that of the asteroid 49 Pales (Scaltriti et al., 1979), for which a binary model was proposed by Van Flandern et al. (1979). We cannot be sure that the minimum, at about 2h UT in the composite lightcurve shown in Fig. 27, is a real feature; however, assuming this possibility, the period is 11.h87 _ ~01 and the amplitude is 0.11 mag. Obviously a double period of 23.~75 has also a good reliability.

For this medium-size object a diameter of 116 km and a C type is adopted. During 1981 three nights' data were taken. Taking into account the duration of the increase and decrease of the light variations, two periods seem plausible: 11.~9 or 15.h9. The first one, however, leads to a quite irregular shape of the complete cycle, producing minima not equally spaced. Moreover, Harris (1981, private communication) suggested a period of about 16h. For these reasons we prefer to adopt P~y, = 15~.9 +- 0.~1; the composite curve is shown in Fig. 28. The total amplitude is 0.14 mag.

747 Winchester

This is a large asteroid (D = 208 km), belonging to the C taxonomic type. Also for this object no precise rotation period was found until now. Harris and Young (1980) proposed a value of 8h with a high degree of uncertainty. Adopting this period they noted, however, almost no magnitude correction for decreasing phase angle between their two nights. By means of our five nights we are able to determine a precise period of 9.M0 - 0~.01. This value also satisfies very well the Harris and Young data, producing a broader maximum, in good agreement with our result. Moreover our period implies a magnitude correction of about 0.02-0.03
