Abstract: | An observing campaign was conducted among teams at the University of Maryland, College Park, and in Malta to determine the rotation period of 3446 Combes during 2019 March and April. Lightcurve analysis using MPO Canopus of the asteroid was conducted in order to determine its rotation period. Using the eight nights of data, 3446 Combes was found to have a rotation period of 5.6990 ± 0.0005 h and an amplitude of 0.18 mag. The University of Maryland team also observed four additional asteroids that serendipitously appeared in the images: (9410) 1995 BJ, (17780) 1998 FY13, (24491) 2000 YT123, and 28341 Bingaman. These were observed only one night each and only the raw data for them are presented. |
