Broadband photometry of asteroid 6478 Gault: activity and morphology
arXiv:2005.07270 · doi:10.1002/asna.202013699
Abstract
We present the results of short observational program for asteroid 6478 Gault with using of V and R Johnson filters realized at the Kyiv Comet Station during January-April 2019. Color indices and distribution of brightness in the comet-like tail were calculated. We made a comparative analysis of circumstances of the asteroid 6478 Gault activity with others morphologically similar active Main Belt asteroids.
