Improved models for near-Earth asteroids (2100) Ra-Shalom, (3103) Eger, (12711) Tukmit & (161989) Cacus

Abstract

We present 24 new dense lightcurves of the near-Earth asteroids (3103) Eger, (161989) Cacus, (2100) Ra-Shalom and (12711) Tukmit, obtained with the Instituto Astrofísico Canarias 80 and Telescopio Abierto Remoto 2 telescopes at the Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain) during 2021 and 2022, in the framework of projects visible NEAs observations survey and NEO Rapid Observation, Characterization and Key Simulations. The shape models and rotation state parameters ($P$, $\lambda$, $\beta$) were computed by applying the lightcurve inversion method to the new data altogether with the archival data. For (3013) Eger and (161989) Cacus, our shape models and rotation state parameters agree with previous works, though they have smaller uncertainties. For (2100) Ra-Shalom, our results also agree with previous studies. Still, we find that a Yarkovsky - O'Keefe - Radzievskii - Paddack acceleration of $\upsilon =(0.223\pm 0.237)\times 10^{-8}$ rad d${}^{-2}$ slightly improves the fit of the lightcurves, suggesting that (2100) Ra-Shalom could be affected by this acceleration. We also present for the first time a shape model for (12711) Tukmit, along with its rotation state parameters ($P=3.484900\pm 0.000031$ hr, $\lambda =27^{\circ }\pm 8^{\circ }$, $\beta =9^{\circ }\pm 15^{\circ }$).
