LIGHTCURVE ANALYSIS OF THE HUNGARIA BINARY 7958 LEAKEY

Minor Planet Bull. 2016 Apr-Jun;43(2):166-169.

Abstract

The Hungaria asteroid 7958 Leakey is a known binary (Warner et al., 2012). It was observed in 2015 to confirm and refine the original periods for the primary rotation and satellite orbit. The analysis of the 2015 data found a noticeably different orbital period. We report on the analysis of the new data and a second look at the data from 2012.
