Lightcurves of 6 Jupiter Trojan asteroids
From the point of view of the intrinsic rotation, the Jupiter Trojans are not as well characterized as the main belt asteroids, primarily because the available sample of lightcurves is small and mainly restricted to the largest objects. We have obtained rotational periods and lightcurve amplitudes f...
