Scientific paper

During the course of a study of long period asteroids (f < 1/d) within the Hungaria asteroid population, the lightcurves for seven asteroids were re-examined using updated software and techniques. Several were found to have significantly different periods from those previously reported by two of the authors (Warner and Stephens). The most significant change was 2074 Shoemaker, which was initially reported to have a period of 57 h but now appears to be a binary asteroid with a primary period of 2.5328 ± 0.0004 h and a possible orbital period of 55.52 ± 0.01 h. The other asteroids that were re-examined were 1919 Clemence, 3043 San Diego, 3353 Jarvis, 4142 Dersu-Uzala, (20232) 1997 YK, and (101549) 1998 YY2. The reexamination showed once again the importance of placing data on at least an internal system to achieve accurate night-to-night calibrations.
