Asteroid lightcurves from the Palomar Transient Factory survey: Rotation periods and phase functions from sparse photometry

Adam Waszczak, Chan-Kao Chang, Eran O. Ofek +10

We fit 54,296 sparsely-sampled asteroid lightcurves in the Palomar Transient Factory to a combined rotation plus phase-function model. Each lightcurve consists of 20+ observations…
