Photometric and Colorimetric Observations of Asteroid 423 Diotima and Their Analysis
Tóm tắt
Series of photometric and colorimetric observations of the Main-Belt asteroid 423 Diotima during its five oppositions were obtained at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. It was concluded, based on the results of a frequency analysis of the V-band photometry obtained in 1990, that the asteroid is a binary system: the rotation period of the primary component is equal to 4.
h56, and the period of rotation and the orbital period of the satellite are equal to 14.
h90. An analysis of simultaneous BV and BVR observations made in 1993 and 1998–1999 yielded a rotation period of 4.
h54 ± 0.
h01 for the primary component. An analysis of the sets of V-band observations of the asteroid made from 1982 through 2000 allowed us to find the period of forced precession, which was equal to 113d (or 226d). It was suggested that the axis of the primary component of the binary asteroid precesses and the large amplitude of brightness variations (about 1
m
) is due to its lenticular shape.
